Job Details

A full service international law firm is currently looking for two commercial Lawyers to join their team based in Leeds. The Leeds office is based in the heart of the City Centre, very close to the rail links making them easily accessible and in a fantastic location. They have an outstanding reputation as market leaders across various sectors making this an excellent opportunity for someone to develop their skills and lay the foundations for a long term career in this field.

Our client are very open to considering candidates at all levels but are essentially looking for one person to provide support to the team at a more junior level and another to come in and work closely alongside the head of department, someone capable of picking up and running more complex matters as well as supporting with the general supervision of the team.

The role
There is a real variety of work to pick up ranging from general commercial contracts to competition law, data protection and intellectual property.
This is a fantastic opportunity to get stuck in to some top quality work for big household name clients across a range of sectors, specifically retail and technology.
For the senior role you will essentially be second in command to the head of department and get involved in the supervision of the more junior members of the team as well as leading projects.

The candidate
The firm are very open and will consider candidates at all levels with experience in commercial law, even if it is just a 6 month seat within the practice area, they will however be looking for a demonstrable interest in this area of law as well as someone who clearly embraces client contact.
They want people who are technically strong, proactive and who will really throw themselves in to the work.
Full training and support will be given however some IT experience would be beneficial but certainly not essential for the role.

These roles present an opportunity to join an excellent team where there is genuine camaraderie across the country and the opportunity to work alongside some fantastic lawyers as well as some of the biggest names within business. That said this firm are still in development mode so there is also the opportunity to make a very real impact and advance your career at pace.

If you are interested in this role, or would like to find out more about the opportunity please contact Rachael Mann at Sacco Mann or another member of our Private Practice team. 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.

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

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.

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.
