Job Details

Considering making a career move and want to be with one of the most prestigious Commercial Litigation teams in the North? If so you should read on. This international law firm is seeking to recruit an experienced Lawyer to its Commercial Disputes practice in Leeds - ideally at Managing Associate or Legal Director level although a Solicitor at Senior Associate level, looking for that step up will also be considered.

This Commercial Litigation team have a fabulous reputation and rightly so. They act for top flight clients, not just clients of the practice but clients who actively seek them out purely for Commercial Litigation work too. The work that they do doesn't stop at the borders, there is an international perspective to it as well. It is genuinely broad ranging and includes:

  • typical corporate and commercial disputes
  • IT ( public and private)
  • International Arbitration (they are one of the few firms who offer genuine access to this from Leeds)
  • Substantial Procurement Litigation

This team have had success in recruiting Lawyers from a wide variety of backgrounds, consequently as well looking at Lawyers from peer firms or London relocators they are happy to consider those who may have qualified overseas with relevant experience of the appropriate quality, or those from smaller local firms with the desire and capability to step up.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Solicitor with c. 6 years+ PQE to join a genuinely collegiate team in a leading role. The practice also provides opportunities to get involved in more diverse activities and proactively encourages involvement in CSR for example.

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.
