Job Details

My client is a Cheshire-based AIM listed success story with double digit growth stretching back over a decade. They have a small, yet influential and integral In-house legal team which is highly regarded throughout the business, both in the UK and across their European partners in Germany, the Netherlands and Czech Republic.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a pragmatic and communicative commercial generalist solicitor to head up this team, reporting to the Chief Finance Officer to help advise in all areas of the business group-wide, enabling them to meet its business objectives and ensuring legal compliance.

On a day to day basis you can expect a varied caseload which may cover legal/commercial, intellectual property, regulatory, clinical, quality, HR and operational matters. In addition, the group has aspirational (but tangible) targets to hit £1b t/o which will also require further acquisitions. As such, those lawyers with any exposure to M+A and wider corporate experience will be especially welcome to apply, however the day to day diet of work will very much focus on company law and the management of the team.

The business operates a true flexibility in terms of working hours, although there is a strong desire to have this person office based at their Cheshire HQ on account of the location of the team.

Salary is likely to be in the region on c£90k+ benefits associated with an AIM listed business.

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.
