Job Details


Do you feel like you've hit a glass ceiling, or are you overlooked in your current role?

This growing regional heavyweight is experiencing consistent, organic growth. They are looking for ambitious, entrepreneurial individuals who want to be part of an exciting project, have their contribution valued, and springboard their career.

The Firm:

This is a highly regarded regional heavyweight with eight offices across the North West. They have developed an outstanding reputation for their level of client service, which has seen them repeatedly ranked in the Legal 500 across a number of practice areas. This reputation ensures a steady stream of high-quality work which is the envy of its competitors in the region.

You will find a quality of work unheard of at a firm of this size, ranging from HNW individuals to national corporations including a host of household names. Their main areas for individuals are Property, Family, and Private Client, and on the business side, they have renowned specialist teams across Corporate, Litigation, and Employment. Within all of the areas above, they have received countless regional and national industry awards, demonstrating the firm's success and the level of technical ability that they possess.

Long before it was a necessity, the firm has adopted a flexible working culture, with home working commonplace throughout the firm. This has contributed to high productivity levels as individuals can work in the environment that best suits them, and an extremely low staff turnover rate. You will have the choice to work from the firm's state of the art office, based in a well-connected area of the City, or from home, with the firm providing all the necessary equipment for you to get set up and work effectively remotely.

Even though their team are often spread across different locations, they promote a collaborative working culture. By utilising the latest technology, they can stay connected with colleagues within their team and across departments.

The Role:

The firm is seeking an Employment Solicitor to join their award-winning Employment team, in their state of the art Manchester office.

The quality of work is exceptionally high and is of a similar calibre to that of the bigger firms in the City. Their growing presence and reputation mean it is the perfect time to join, as they undergo exciting expansion plans with additional offices being opened throughout the UK. As such, the firm is looking for individuals with ambition and a commercial flair to join them on this journey and lead them forward.

The Employment department is the firm's beating heart, and they service a broad client base of SMEs, OMBs, and national companies, across a range of industry sectors. Work will include settlement agreements, redundancy, unfair dismissal, contractual disputes, employment tribunals, whistleblowing, and corporate support.

Requirements:

* You will be an Employment Solicitor with a minimum of three years' experience (there is no upper limit in regards to the amount of experience)
* You will have a strong background in both contentious & non-contentious Employment Law on behalf of employers
* Ability to build strong relationships with other departments within the firm, and the clients that you work with
* Experience within the insurance, technology or e-commerce sectors is preferred, but not essential
* You will be a commercially minded individual and will thrive on building client relationships and marketing your practice

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing, regional law firm as part of their thriving Employment department, based in Manchester City Centre. You will play a critical role in the firm's success and will have the chance to make your mark as the firm expands on the national stage.
