This highly commercial, specialist law firm, with a strong presence in Manchester, is looking to recruit an experienced Corporate Partner to help drive the department forward in the long term.
While the firm already holds a strong market position, they recognise that bringing in another high-calibre senior lawyer could provide greater depth and strength, allowing them to elevate their performance to the next level.
This opportunity is ideal for individuals in various career situations:
A current Partner seeking more autonomy and independence than they currently have.
Someone who wants to join a firm that offers better support and resources than their present position.
An aspiring Partner looking for a clear path to partnership and career growth.
You might be part of a well-established team but find yourself in a situation where it's challenging to build a business case for a new Partner due to an already strong partner base.
The current team enjoys a strong market presence and works with both national and local clients across various sectors.
The team is well-structured but has room for a senior lawyer to join them and contribute to the next phase of their growth in Manchester.
You will receive strong integration support from the team and benefit from a high-quality back-office function to assist with client work.
The firm also boasts skilled lawyers in other departments, ensuring you can confidently refer work internally without concern.
The firm fosters a positive, collaborative culture that values both its people and its clients equally.
They offer a flexible working environment, recognising that everyone works differently and encouraging this to everyone's potential.

Are you a Commercial Property Solicitor with experience in one of the larger firms within the North West? Would you like a clear track to partnership but worry that you don't have a defined client following? Are you looking to spread your wings and work differently? Would you like to remain within a high-profile firm but one where you can genuinely have a work life balance? You may think it's not possible to have all these things, but this Commercial Property role genuinely offers all the above and more.
This innovative firm, who are relatively new to Manchester, have brought a completely different approach to the market and one that is extremely refreshing.
They believe that their lawyers thrive when they are given the support and space to do so and as a consequence, they don't set high targets.
They want you to be able to be the best that you can for their clients whilst also having the time to get involved in wider activities whether they be training, client development, CSR etc.
Having recruited for them I can genuinely say that this is the case, not just some lovely theory.
They are looking to recruit a Commercial Property Solicitor who is confident dealing with household names (most within exciting sectors), someone with experience in landlord and tenant work and ideally also a small amount of corporate support.
You will need to be confident in running files, have strong technical skills which you combine with being commercially savvy and string client skills.
Whilst they have an existing commercial property team, you would be their first recruit into the North of England.
This is a unique and exciting opportunity and key is that they are not looking for a following of work, they do however need someone who can dig into their existing client base to generate work with the support of the wider partnership.
They would need you to take a strategic approach to client development, but there are plenty of existing clients where they have strong, and long standing working relationships, but where they are either not asking for their commercial property work at the moment due to capacity, or are even turning it away.
This role would suit a lawyer with strong client and technical skills, someone looking for a clear track to partnership and a genuine support network to capitalise upon that.
To find out more about this unique Commercial Property opportunity within this unusual and exciting law firm, with a clear route to partnership, call James Barker on 0161 672 3111 for a confidential conversation or e-mail him at James.Barker@saccomann.com ....Read more...
