Job Details

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Planning Solicitor to join a successful and busy practice based in Leeds city centre. This is an excellent opportunity for a Solicitor who is looking to handle a high calibre caseload.

Our client is a well-established, top 45 law firm with a strong reputation in the Leeds market and an enviable client base in the region. The Planning team has been going from strength to strength, handling a large variety of high-quality work for both private and public sector clients with exciting projects in the pipeline.

Working collaboratively with other members of the Planning team and wider firm you will handle a broad ranging caseload including planning appeals, environmental issues, planning objections, enforcement issues, drafting complex section 106 agreements for large residential developments and advising in relation to DCO applications.

The firm is committed to further growth and so the ideal candidate will have an enthusiastic approach to growing client relationships and business development, helping deliver further growth for the planning practice both nationally and locally.

Our client envisages the successful candidate to be 3+ PQE 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.

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 Rachel Birkinshaw 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.
