This highly commercial, specialist law firm with a strong base in Birmingham are looking to recruit a strong Commercial Property Partner who is capable of helping the department move forward over the mid to longer term.
They have great market position already but can see that another high-quality senior lawyer could offer greater strength and depth and really help them go to the next level.
The above role would be ideal for:
Someone at Partner level who is looking for a greater degree of autonomy and independence than they already have
Someone looking for a firm that have better back up and support than they currently have
Someone wanting to step up to Partnership and looking for clarity of career opportunity.
It may well be that you are within a strongly positioned team but one where there are already a strong base of partners and perhaps not the ability to easily create the business case for an additional partner.
The existing team have a strong presence within the market, act for both national and local clients, from a range of public and private sector organisations which include investors, charities, utility companies, developers and landowners amongst others.
The team are well structured team but have room for another senior lawyer who can assist in the next stage of their development from Leeds. As well as having strong support from the team to integrate, they have really high quality back office to support you with your clients, together with quality lawyers in other teams meaning you will never be worried about referring work to other teams internally. The firm has a really good culture, they are collegiate and focus on their people and clients equally.
They have a flexible working environment and appreciate that people work in different ways and encourage this to get the best out of everyone.

If you are a Contentious Probate Lawyer, looking for the ideal opportunity to make your own mark opportunities don't get much better than this in Leeds.
Sitting within the Commercial Litigation team of this progressive and successful law firm, we are looking for a dedicated Contentious Probate Lawyer, someone who has enough experience to run matters themselves, although there could be support from another office if this is valued, and if you don't need day to day support hey would certainly be a sounding board for you.

The firm offer great support, whether that be with day-to-day matters, marketing, business development or in developing those wider skills that you need to become a leader in your field.
This is a fabulous opportunity and could well suit someone looking to step up and take a lead where they have been part of a team to date.

This Banking team have a national reach but also a local presence and are looking to recruit a number of Banking Solicitors to their national team to be based in Leeds.
The work available is truly national and of an exceptional quality as they are on many major panels, that said they are not one of the large international firms and consequently they have a completely different offer in terms of environment, approach and career trajectory.
Given their current work, and their pipeline, they are looking for several recruits to deliver on their strategic growth, both at the senior and mid-level.
They are keen to speak to :
Established Banking Partners looking for a good degree of autonomy and a friendly, supportive, down to earth team
Senior Banking Lawyers keen to step into partnership - if you are keen to take on a role where there are existing panel relationships that can be further developed without you feeling like you are treading on the toes of others.
Mid-level Banking lawyers ( 3-6yrs) - it may be that you are already within established team but are looking for a practice where there is plenty of scope for progression and autonomy but with a supportive approach.
It is unusual or a national team to be able to offer such a clear run at so many panels, but they can genuinely do so and by grabbing that opportunity there are clear paths to progression whatever your level.
Whatever your level you will work with household name funders - core banks and alternative lenders - as well as acting for borrowers across corporate and real estate (investment and development).
The quality of the work is equivalent to that at many international firms, and they are looking for someone already handling this work but do promise to offer a different environment than that found in many teams.
The team is down to earth and there are no egos at all.
There are long standing team members, the fact that there is little turnover in this team says a lot about their culture and approach.
They also have a sensible approach to hours and targets, banking solicitors typically work long hours, but this team only does so when it is absolutely necessary.
They like you to have a life outside of work, a career and to feel professionally satisfied with the work that you are doing.
If you are looking for some of the best work available, great career progression, with reasonable work life balance, contact Rachael Mann at Sacco Mann for a confidential discussion on 0113 4677111 or e-mail her rachael.mann@saccomann.com

This sectoral knowledge is hugely valuable and is something that you could rely on within this niche area of work.
The firm have an award-winning litigation team, that has always been at the forefront of the market when it comes to investment in technology, delivery, funding and pricing structures etc.
Working alongside a leading partner within this sphere you will have the opportunity to not only manage significant matters but also get involved in the further development of this area within the practice.
Whilst this opportunity is for someone to focus on Product Liability work for varied corporate clients, the team sits within the commercial litigation division and if you were keen to retain some diversity, they can structure the role in such a way that you can also undertake some wider work, that would be down to your personal preference.
There's an established team undertaking this work, you would be positioned at a senior level within this, meaning that not only will you lead on many clients matters but also be encouraged to co-ordinate and manage the others that do it.
Furthermore, whilst there is plenty of work there you have the opportunity to assist with the team's growth.
They would actively support you in getting to know high risk client partners across the firm, ensuring that you are positioned to further capitalise upon their incredible client list both nationally and internationally.
Whilst with modern technology it doesn't necessarily mean that you would have to travel extensively if you wanted to there is certainly the opportunity to do so.
Beyond their internal market, they look to speak at conference and position themselves as thought leaders' within this interesting and varied sector as well as delivering client training all of which you could get involved in.
Whilst you would have considerable autonomy, there is also plenty of support and it presents a clear opportunity to work towards partnership.
Indeed, if you are already a partner, they would be interested in hearing from you but would be looking for you to be able to demonstrate a proven track record as either a recognised lawyer within this work or someone who has a proven track record of generating work.
At Legal Director level, or below, that is not required.
