Job Details

As a result of an exciting internal restructure which has seen the promotion of the current Head of Legal into an Executive Board position, my client is looking to expand their highly regarded legal team by appointing a new legal figurehead in their West Yorkshire based office.

You will lead the operational aspects of Legal and Governance activity within the group, being responsible for the day-to-day leadership and management of the Legal and Governance team, providing legal advice and support to relevant business.

The ideal candidate will have substantive PQE, preferably in a commercial discipline of law gained either from the private or public sector. Most importantly however, is your track record and commitment of developing those around you and leading by example - providing coaching, guidance, support and development as appropriate.

Day to day, you'll advise the group on legal, compliance and strategic matters affecting the group as well as working "hands on" on the drafting and negotiating of commercial contracts including (but not limited to) TPC, JCT, NDAs, software agreements, consultancy agreements and service agreements.

You'll lead the delivery of a diverse range of professional legal advice and manage the legal budget, however this would suit someone who is requiring a role that offers set hours and flexibility.
This is a highly professional and commercial outfit, however is also a body that understands the important of a happy workforce. In exchange for your commitment and dedication, your reward will be an interesting caseload, a feeling of adding value and work-life balance.

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.
