Job Details

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Solicitor specialising in Commercial Litigation to join a growing law firm based on the outskirts of Leeds.

Our client is a niche boutique law firm who have gained a fantastic reputation in the market. Specialising in healthcare sector clients, they have a number of quality lawyers and paralegals covering various areas of law and an abundance of high quality work. With free parking included, this role should not be missed.

The Role:

The firm is looking to bring a solicitor on board to deal with a commercial litigation caseload. The work will be really broad ranging, acting for a variety of healthcare sector clients and includes breach of contract claims, associate disputes, partnership disputes, debt recovery, insolvency proceedings, trademark infringement, disputes with NHS contracts, property disputes and negligence claims. Due to the close relationship between certain areas of litigation and employment law, our client requires someone who has experience and knowledge in the field of employment law, albeit most employment law matters will be handled by the dedicated employment law team. The firm is open minded in terms of PQE. They will also consider someone with experience who is looking for part-time hours, or someone experienced who is full-time if they have a strong background in networking and business development and potentially some work to bring, although this is not essential.

The Candidate:


The team is incredibly busy and there is plenty of work in the pipeline therefore the successful candidate must be confident in running their own caseload autonomously or with limited supervision.
It would be preferable if you had experience in the Healthcare sector, however, this is by no means necessary for the role. The firm is likely to soon handle some regulatory work, therefore, someone with experience in this area in addition to the general litigation and employment law would be extremely attractive to the firm. If a candidate is NQ, they would need to be able to demonstrate extensive pre-qualification experience in litigation work.

Benefits:

Competitive Salary
Excellent scope for career progression
Free parking

A friendly and supportive environment

How to Apply:

If you would like to apply for this role then please contact Rachel Birkinshaw or another member of the Private Practice team at Sacco Mann. Alternatively, if this role is not for you but you know someone who could be interested, then please contact them or us as we offer a reward for successful referrals.

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.
