Job Details

A great opportunity has arisen for an experienced Commercial Solicitor to join a top-tier international firm based in Leeds.

Our client handles major commercial, IT and outsourcing projects for some of the largest clients in the world. They provide the full range of legal services to an enviable range of major clients, both private and public sector, across areas such as financial services, IT, data and privacy, energy, food, retail, manufacturing and projects.

Their solicitors are leading specialists in their fields, delivering both expertise and general commercial skills that make a real difference. These skills are tested on major projects, often with an international dimension.

You will work as part of a national team advising on a wide range of commercial and IT contracting matters. These will range from day to day contracts to some of the most strategic and business critical contracts that their blue chip clients enter into. Whilst there will be the opportunity to get involved in some GDPR work if this is something of interest three isn't a pre requisite to do so.

The workload is varied, challenging and rewarding and will also have an active engagement with clients and colleagues across the globe as well as being involved in business development from an early stage. You will have the opportunity to work on large projects as well as taking more responsibility for smaller standalone matters.

They are looking for strong technical skills and excellent academic qualifications in addition you will be able to demonstrate exceptional inter personal skills and a willingness to play your part in business development. They are happy to recruit from industry or private practice and find that people often make the move over from industry seamlessly, perhaps due to their commercial approach.

To be successful you will have a sharp and intelligent mind with the ability to think through complex problems under pressure. You must be able to provide first rate client service, both internally and externally, coupled with a commitment to delivering a quality service.

In return they offer real career opportunity, there is no ceiling for progression for someone for the right candidate looking to make their mark. They also promote agile and flexible working so whilst there is no doubt that this is a stimulating and demanding role there is also a strong focus on work life balance.

Due to the requirements of the team, the firm is looking for an experienced Commercial solicitor and have indicated that candidates around the 4-8 year PQE mark will succeed in this role. Candidates that fall outside of this bracket with the relevant skills and knowledge are encouraged to apply.

How to apply
Having been established for over 20 years, we are experts in legal recruitment. Our strength derives from the fact that we are well-known, well-respected and have developed long-standing bonds with both our clients and candidates, and have become an authority on all aspects of legal recruitment. To hear more, please contact Rachael Mann or another member of the private practice team at Sacco Mann.

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. 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.
