Private client support for UK firms
Private client work is relationship led at the front and paperwork heavy behind it. A lawyer placed through Singularity works full time on the paperwork: trust and estate support, lasting powers of attorney, trust administration and the correspondence that keeps matters moving.
They are qualified South African attorneys under your supervision, so your authorised lawyers keep the client relationship and carry out anything reserved.
What the work looks like

- Trust deed and supporting document drafting support

- General fee-earner support across the private client book
Discretion is part of the job
Private client files carry sensitive personal and financial information, so the confidentiality structure matters as much as the drafting. Every placement runs under a written confidentiality undertaking, both firm-level and personal to the lawyer, and your consultant works inside your own systems so material stays in your environment.
How the hire works
You tell us the seat you need filled. We search our network of more than a thousand South African lawyers and put forward a small shortlist, every candidate already scrutinised and interviewed by the lawyers on our own team. You interview them and choose. The search costs you nothing, there is no recruitment fee and no lock-in, and we replace the lawyer whenever you ask, whatever the reason. Your first hire through Singularity carries thirty days at our risk: if it is not a success you pay nothing for the month, and we still pay the lawyer.

Twenty minutes, no deck, no obligation. We will tell you honestly whether we can help.
