Job Details

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Solicitor specialising in both Family and Private Client work, to join a highly regarded firm based in Sunderland. Our client is a leading North East Law Firm with a national reach. This is a dynamic role in which you will run your own files, supervise the work of others and help with the marketing and development of the department. Â
Our client has a fantastic reputation in the legal market and as such, this is the perfect place for the right candidate to really establish themselves. There is a view for you to become the Head of Department if you work hard and prove yourself. This could be the career move that defines your career. Â
This is a friendly department spread across both of the offices and the department was shortlisted for their expertise in Private Client both in the Northern Law Awards and the Law Society Excellence Awards.Â
The Role:Â
Taking on a varied role, you will run your own files from start to completion. 60% of this will cover wills and probate, lasting powers of attorney and estate work. 40% of your files will cover complex family matters such as ancillary relief.

Alongside running your own files, you will also supervise the files of more junior fee earners in the department.

Due to the excellent reputation of our client, there is lots of room for growth in the department. Therefore, someone who could get involved in marketing and business development would stand out.

The firm provides regular in house training sessions and experts are brought in to teach the fee earners, meaning you can really get the best out of your role.

The Candidate:

For this role, it is essential that you are highly skilled Solicitor in both Family and Private Client matters. The firm is ideally looking for someone who has at least eighteen months of experience in running their own files in these areas.

Benefits:Â
A competitive salary and benefits package is on offer for the successful candidate.
A spacious office is available with designated secretarial support and free parking is available on site.
How to Apply: Â
If you would like to apply for this role then please contact Holly Dymoke-Marr or another member of the Private Practice team at Sacco Mann. Alternatively, if this role is not for you but you know someone who could be interested, then please let them or us know as we offer a reward for successful referrals. For full terms, please visit our website.Â

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.
