Job Details

This Northeast based in-house legal department is seeking to add a Solicitor to its highly regarded and integral team. You will be joining a fast growing consulting business, operating in the energy sector. Head office is based close to Durham and is within a 30 minute commute of both Sunderland and Newcastle with on site parking available.

The role is extremely varied and will involve a full range of in house legal work but will predominantly focus on litigation. This will include High Court disputes, arbitration and other proceedings arising from high value and complex contractual disputes, and asset recovery.

We would envisage this in-house Solicitor position suiting someone with c. 2-6 years PQE, gained in Commercial Litigation with a law firm or in house team. This is simply given as a guide and applicants who fall outside of this banding but have the requisite knowledge/skills should also get in touch.

This is a rare opportunity for a litigator to transition in house and gain exposure to a range of commercial legal work.

For more information on this Northeast based In-House Solicitor role, please contact Sophie Linley at Sacco Mann on 0113 236 6711.

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.
