Job Details

Are you a junior Solicitor looking to develop a career in Property Litigation? Do you want to join a Legal 500 firm with a strong national reputation working alongside highly-regarded solicitors? If so we have a fantastic opportunity for you in Leeds.

Our client is an internationally renowned top tier firm with offices across the globe and as a result attracts top quality work from multi-national organisations, household names and government bodies. You would be joining a highly successful and expanding department within an award winning law firm based in prestigious Leeds City centre offices.

The role involves working on a broad range of property litigation matters for occupiers, investors, developers and government agencies. As a key member of the real estate team you will be working on a broad range of advisory work and various types of property dispute work.

You will be involved in client relationship management and will be given face to face contact with clients from day one in order to form close working relationships with them, your development within this area will very much be supported by more senior lawyers.

You will quickly find yourself managing your own caseload along with assisting more experienced colleagues with more substantial cases, meaning that you will have great all round experience and really develop all of the skills that you need to be a first rate lawyer. Many of their senior lawyers have niche areas of specialisation and three is the opportunity to work closely with them on areas that particularly interest you. You will also be encouraged to take part in marketing and business development activities and therefore have every opportunity develop into a really well rounded lawyer.

The ideal candidate will have strong technical, communication and organisational skills as well as having keen attention to detail. Providing excellent client care both internally and externally is essential along with having a practical approach to your work. Whilst it would be great if you already have property litigation experience this isn't a pre-requisite and the team are used to offering training to those who have had experience of commercial litigation during their training contract, particularly where they have also undertaken a seat in commercial property.

Our client is looking for a newly qualified solicitor, however, this level of experience has been given as an approximate guide for applicants and our client is happy to consider the applications of candidates who fall outside of this level but who have the relevant knowledge/experience, together with the enthusiasm for this particular role.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a junior Solicitor to join a firm who are genuinely interested in your career and the department are very keen to help your development.

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

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.
