What we like about this opportunity is the combination of it being with a prestigious practice with an extensive client base, the fact that it is a dynamic and positive team which is relatively small in Manchester but has huge growth opportunities and the quality of the work and leadership.
Its also a really nice practice to work in! A significant firm with all the infrastructure and support network that comes with that and added to this is a genuine and deep rooted belief in providing a supportive healthy working culture and environment.
Their low staff turnover and high employee satisfaction levels are a result of this combination.
This role is to bolster their Commercial Property Litigation offering and will suit someone with at least 6 years post qualification experience.
There is a really healthy flow of work and good client relationships and a willingness and enthusiasm to be client facing will be a massive advantage.
The firm gets regular and high quality referrals from its very significant Real Estate department with a healthy flow of high quality matters from their institutional and Local Authority clientele amongst others.
There is huge scope to generate more work from their existing clientele and referral opportunities and a lawyer with strong technical skills and a collegiate and collaborate attitude can carve out an exciting and prosperous career.
We see this team growing significantly over the coming years and this in itself will provide plenty of career opportunity and what is equally exciting is the collegiate and supportive leadership and a proven training programme that builds the skills to make a future smooth transition into a meaningful partnership role.
