Job Details

Are you an experienced private client solicitor looking for a challenge? Do you want to be the leading figure in the development of a new department?

A top-200 firm based in Leicestershire is starting to expand its offering and is looking for a talented and ambitious individual to help set up the private client department. The firm already has an incredibly strong commercial side, delivering a wide range of services to a range of businesses, and is looking to build on this success by also offering services to individuals. The Firm prides itself on the quality of work it delivers and achieves this by not targeting its staff.

This has, until now, remained an unexplored source of work for the firm, meaning you will be able to tap into this already established client base and started marketing the new private client offering within it. Furthermore, since this is a commercial client base, the work gained will be of a high-quality and could result in some complex and high-value matters.

Business development plays a key part in this role, as you will be setting up the department from scratch. However initially, much of this will be internal as the firm has a wide range of clients that it works with. As it the department starts to take shape, you will also take on managerial responsibilities and will eventually head up a team within the firm, meaning you really do have the chance to become an instrumental figure within the firm.

Since this is to set up a new department, the firm envisages candidates with 8+ years' PQE to have the skills and knowledge necessary for the role. This is given purely as a guideline and more important than exact PQE levels is the ability to handle a private client caseload and the confidence to get involved in business development.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to make a name for themselves in the area and become a leading figure both within a department and an already successful firm.

Alternatively, if you know of anyone who would be suitable for this role then please let them or us know as we offer a reward for successful referrals. For full terms please see 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.

- 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
