Our client has a wealth of resources, a wide geographical footprint and an impressive array of clients including large corporations and multinational organisations.
This is a really unique opportunity to move away from a directly client facing role and utilise your expertise to develop others.
The Role
Your key responsibility will be supervising lawyers working across a vast array of Real Estate work - really shaping their knowledge and understanding.
The firm deals with a huge range of clients across both the public and private sector, including top names within retail, utilities, investment, occupiers and development to name a few.
The work is a real blend of local, Leeds and Yorkshire market property matters, coupled with national and London based work.
You will not be responsible for supervising matters from beginning to end - more in an ad-hoc manner, where a lawyer requires additional support and guidance on a particular point - you can really help them deepen their understanding.
You will play a key role in identifying ongoing training and development needs for the team and will be focused on the continuous improvement of the department.
There is plenty of opportunity to get involved in the wider 'life' of the firm, whether that be attending social events or getting involved in CSR or other projects within the firm.

The Candidate
This Leeds based team is seeking to recruit a candidate that will strive to succeed in a high performing and busy environment.

Are you a Commercial Solicitor looking for something different? This role, which offers the best of both worlds between in house and private practice, is a unique opportunity to join a team which is going from strength to strength.
Top quality work, great clients and cutting edge technology, without the pressures of time recording and client billing targets.
Central Leeds office location with home working.
This role is to work directly for companies, very much as an in-house lawyer, but with the support of an award-winning law firm with all of the back-up, training and support that this offers.
The role is to be based within Leeds City Centre, but you would sometimes find yourself working on site for the companies - truly integrated as a trusted legal advisor.
Our client, which is one of the UK's leading law firms, offers an incredibly friendly working environment accompanied by a world leading reputation, backed up by the countless awards that they have won.
This role offers more flexibility and freedom than a typical commercial role would offer, so if you are looking to get away from traditional time recording, work directly with one or two leading corporates but have the luxury of other lawyers around you, this role can offer that highly unusual blend.
You will be working within the firms' 'in-house' team, this team literally takes over either the entire legal work of specific companies, or specific parts of it, taking on work that was previously handled in-house.
The role is essentially to work as in-house lawyer but on behalf of one or two large clients at any point in time, offering the opportunity to work across sectors but focusing largely on commercial contracts and wider business as usual legal work.
Work will include providing high quality legal advice, mitigating commercial and legal risk and really integrating yourself into the client, their sector and their commercial imperatives.
The firm provides a really innovative solution to some of the UK's highest profile companies, giving you the chance to be at the cutting edge of a genuine alternative to companies looking to outsource their legal services in a different way.
You will have the support of a global firm, really allowing you to drive your career forward at the highest level and surrounded by some of the brightest minds.
There's no time recording, no chargeable targets and the option to get involved in business development but no requirement to do so, it's all about doing a great job for the company and getting to know them well.
You will be fully supported by non-legal specialists across a number of sectors including IT and project management to deliver highly innovative solutions.
The firm is really open minded about the level of PQE that it is looking for.
There are 2 roles and one will suit a Lawyer with c.
1-5 years PQE, with the other pitched at a more experienced level or c.
5 years + PQE.
Ideally you will have solid commercial contracts experience gained either in house or in private practice.
Whilst the lion's share of the work is commercial they are happy to consider recruiting either corporate lawyers or even litigators, although you must have worked in a commercial discipline within litigation.
They have recruited from within these disciplines successfully historically and are happy to do so again.
This practice is fully supporting a blend of home and office working going forward and as a consequence if you live further afield but could consider the commute for a couple of days a week don't discount this opportunity.

Are you looking for a new and exciting challenge within Commercial Law? You may already be an established Partner, or someone looking for a new role to make that step towards partnership? If you have a track record of developing work, or perhaps a following of clients and are looking to join a firm that has untapped potential then this could be the role for you. An opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Solicitor or Commercial Partner to join this strong, and ambitious, regional firm in Leeds.
Our client is based in Leeds City Centre and have an excellent reputation as being an 'employer of choice', they also have a fabulous record of growth and significant positive momentum.
One of the top firms in the North, they are recognised across a wide range of commercial disciplines by the Legal 500 and Chambers guides. The Role
The firm have a strong client base, and at the moment they don't have enough sufficiently experienced Commercial Lawyers in place, to capitalise upon the work.
This is a great opportunity for either an established commercial partner, or someone looking for a clear run into a partner role and with a proven track record of successful client management.
The firm have an established presence across a broad range of sectors, including a particular immersion within the tech sector.
Their clients range from SMEs to larger companies that are regional, national and international and comprise private and public sector businesses.
Whilst there is flexibility as to the work, they have opportunity for someone to capitalise upon their strong client base within the tech sector.
They have a reputation for working with young and growing companies, and retaining those relationships for the long-term meaning that they have a significant spectrum of clients.
Whilst they have an established Partner in Leeds already, there is clear opportunity for another to join as they simply can't keep on top of the work and the opportunities.
There is the backup and support that you would find in larger Leeds firms, but they also give a lot of autonomy and independence that you wouldn't necessarily find within national and international firms, meaning that you would have the opportunity to have an impact and progress at the pace appropriate to your development and experience, there are genuinely no bars to your progression.
There is a friendly office environment, and you will be surrounded by well experienced, high quality lawyers across all disciplines.
They are genuinely looking for someone who can make a difference and there is clear equity partnership opportunity, with realistic expectations of what needs to be achieved to receive this.
The Candidate
First and foremost, you will need to have strong commercial expertise, and be able to demonstrate a commercial approach to client work.
Whilst it isn't critical that you have a clear following, to recruit at Partner level, you will need to be experienced in fostering and developing client relationships and a desire to continue with this.
They are happy to consider lawyers at Senior Associate level who are looking for a clear route to progression and want to build their profile with clients with the support of an existing partner.
They would love to recruit someone who is interested in supporting with the further development of the lawyers already within the team.
They work both across offices and across teams so a friendly, collegiate approach would be welcomed from anyone taking on this role. As mentioned, our client is open minded about the exact level that they can recruit at as there is flexibility within the role, however it's likely that you will be a Commercial Lawyer with at least 7 years PQE, however you could already be a Partner elsewhere.
Benefits
A highly competitive salary and benefits package is on offer. A fantastic career opportunity with no glass ceiling and a change to really make a mark on a firm. Hybrid working.
How To Apply If you would like to apply for this Commercial Partner / Senior Associate role then contact Rachael Mann on 0113 4677111, or Rachael.Mann@saccomann.com, for an informal confidential discussion. ....Read more...

Are you a seasoned Corporate Solicitor seeking a more balanced and fulfilling role? This opportunity offers just that—combining high-quality corporate transactions with strategic, non-transactional project work in a truly unique setting.
Why This Role Stands Out
You'll still be involved in complex UK and international corporate deals, but with a significant portion of your time dedicated to high-level consultancy projects that extend beyond traditional legal work.
Working closely with a multidisciplinary team, you'll use your legal expertise to tackle business challenges for leading blue-chip clients—without the relentless time pressure of pure transactional roles.
This hybrid model offers both stimulation and sustainability.
About the Company
You'll be joining a globally respected professional services brand, known for delivering fully integrated, cross-disciplinary solutions.
Their legal division is growing fast, offering a rare chance to shape its future while working in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment—one that moves away from the rigid structure of many conventional law firms.
The Role
As a Corporate Solicitor, you will provide strategic legal counsel on a range of UK and cross-border matters.
You'll lead multi-jurisdictional transactions, advise major clients across sectors, and contribute to expanding the firm's corporate legal offering.
Around 50% of your workload will involve innovative project-based consultancy work—giving you space to breathe and grow.
Key Responsibilities
Advise on M&A, joint ventures, equity investments, corporate structuring, and reorganisations
Lead complex, cross-border transactions from start to finish
Collaborate across internal departments to deliver integrated client solutions
Support business development initiatives by leveraging the firm's strong internal market
Mentor and develop junior team members
Manage and build long-term relationships with high-profile clients
About You
UK-qualified solicitor with 6+ years PQE in corporate law
Strong background in M&A, equity investments, and restructurings
Proven ability to handle high-value, multi-jurisdictional matters
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
Entrepreneurial spirit and a proactive, solutions-focused approach
Experience mentoring junior lawyers is a plus
What's on Offer
£75,000-£90,000 base salary plus significant benefits including a clear and achievable bonus structure
Flexible hybrid working
Realistic, well-supported career progression
The chance to escape the "always-on" corporate grind
Opportunity to do varied, strategic work beyond deals
Inclusive, innovative, and supportive culture
