Job Details

Are you an experienced Finance Solicitor looking for something a little different?
If you're passionate about the law but want to step away from fee earning, targets, and time recording, this unique Professional Support Lawyer (PSL) opportunity could be the perfect fit.
Our client, a leading international law firm, is seeking a PSL to join their Finance and Restructuring team. In this role, you'll focus on enhancing the team's knowledge base by delivering training, conducting research, and managing knowhow, ensuring they stay up to date with the latest legal and legislative developments. You will also play a key role with the firm's clients, helping to create high-quality literature and client guides.
You will work with lawyers at all levels, meaning you'll need excellent communication skills and the ability to adapt your style to suit different stages of career progression. The firm offers flexible, hybrid working with 2 days in the Leeds office on a full-time basis.
While the role is within the Finance and Restructuring team, the firm welcomes candidates from a general finance background, though experience in real estate finance or social housing finance would be particularly advantageous, but it is not essential. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years PQE and strong organisational, client care, and communication skills. However, if you feel you have the necessary skills but fall outside of these parameters, we encourage you to apply.
How to Apply:
If you're interested in learning more about this Leeds based PSL role, please contact Kieran Wallace on 0113 467 9797 or a member of the Private Practice team.
Alternatively, if this role isn't for you but you know someone who would be a great fit, let us know! We offer a reward scheme for successful referrals. For full terms, please visit our website.
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.
