Criminal Defence Solicitor

Our client is a well-regarded and professionally managed law firm with offices in the city centre and Greater Manchester area. 

Acting for both commercial clients and private individuals, this full service law firm remains committed to the provision of criminal defence services.   A combination of strategic planning and increased levels of instructions means new openings have arisen. 

Whilst all applications from criminal law specialists will be considered, there is particular interest in speaking with experienced Magistrates Court Solicitors who have Duty Solicitor and/or Leal Aid Supervisor status.  

The focus of instructions is magistrate and police station representation. The person(s) appointed will be asked to take part in the firm's police station rota, but it is not an onerous commitment.  

This is a great opportunity with a highly-successful and profitable practice.  It is a friendly and supportive place to work with excellent resources and training in place.   There is a also flexibility in working from home. 

Actis Legal specialises in the North West legal market and with such a detailed knowledge of the region, we are able to provide tailored and bespoke advice to individuals we act for and identify suitable career moves.  All enquiries treated in the strictest of confidence.

** Please note that references to post qualification experience (PQE) are given as a guideline to the competences required for technical, client and case management skills, as well as budgeted salary for the role. We encourage you to apply for any job for which you feel you are a suitable candidate.
