Job Details

A different kind of employment law role has become available with a firm in East Yorkshire. The firm is growing at an impressive yet sensible pace. They do a lot of work for insurers, brokers and financial institutions. They are looking for ideally a solicitor with at least 2-6 years employment law experience.

The Role
Giving telephone/email advice to companies as a result of an insurance policy they have in place
The advice can range from anything from interpreting maternity provisions to talking them through a redundancy process - it's really broad ranging
As the firm grows there may be the option to almost act as a consultant to some of these clients and actually go into the business and e.g. conduct the redundancy process
The role would suit someone looking to move away from a conventional fee earner role, into more of a consultative role where you operate more like an in-house lawyer
Whilst this firm is relatively small at the moment it has plans to become a national player which it is firmly on track for
Excellent quality work, some of which is on a par with the big firms in Yorkshire.

The Candidate
- At least 2 years solid employment law experience is required for the role, together with strong commercial acumen
- The team is incredibly supportive and friendly and need someone who has this approach

Benefits
Part-time hours will certainly be considered
There is also a conventional employment law team and there may be scope to move into this team in time and actually handle the claims if this is desired.

How To Apply
If you would like to apply for this role then contact Rachel Birkinshaw or another member of the Private Practice Team.

Company

Sacco Mann are specialist Legal Recruiters recognised as regional experts with a genuine interest in, as well as knowledge of, their marketplace. We are renowned for giving clear and straightforward career advice and true quality of service.

We have thirteen experienced consultants focussing on legal recruitment, encompassing the Commercial, General Practice, Public Sector and In House positions, both permanent and locum. In addition two consultants specialise within the Patents and Trademarks sector.

We feel that much of our success has been due to the fact that we:

- try to accurately guage and understand what both candidates and clients require and indeed that which they are able to offer and then bring the two together
- have a demonstrable knowledge of the marketplace. Fundamentally what you need is not merely someone who can post your CV to a practice, but someone whose strength of contacts within the firms can add value, ensuring that you are given proper consideration
- discuss each role with you thoroughly and get prior clearance before a CV is submitted. This is an extremely important for protecting confidentiality and avoiding duplication
- brief you fully prior to any interviews, ensuring that you know what the role entails and how the interview will be run. We also give you honest interview feedback - if you don't do very well in an interview you can always learn from the experience
- are accessible and return your calls

Why use Sacco Mann?

Principally because we believe that the points outlined above are fundamental. We enjoy recruitment, and we are good at it, because we genuinely enjoy assisting people make positive career moves. We don't shuffle paper because we know our marketplace and are therefore in a position to give reliable, knowledgeable and practical advice.

The vast majority of our applicants and clients are at pains to thank us for the advice and service that we provide and we believe the high level of referral business is a direct result of the fact that lawyers value our input.
