“This is Manchester – we do things differently here.”
“It’s a city that has a fantastic track record of reinventing itself, being at the forefront of change, of thinking through innovative solutions to complex problems,” Joanne Roney, Chief Executive
Our Regeneration Legal Group spearheads the complex negotiation, drafting and delivery of the planning, commercial, property and regeneration work that makes this mixed-use revolution happen, and we’re now expanding the team to deliver Manchester’s Economic Recovery and investment Plan.
Can you bring us the legal knowledge, experience, agility and innovation we need to get this done?
We are looking to recruit a Senior Lawyer - preferably with local government experience or knowledge, but that is not essential - to help us to continue to deliver the Council’s ambition and to build positive working relationships with colleagues and clients.
The role is for a lawyer with experience of supervising and motivating a team of lawyers dealing with planning, compulsory purchase and other regeneration projects for a number of clients. You will have strong experience of managing a varied caseload of complex, high profile and innovative legal matters relating to a wide range of planning, highways, compulsory purchase and regeneration work as well as leading and developing a team of lawyers.
You will have a track record of inspiring confidence in clients and excellent communication skills. You will have an ability to work flexibly and to be responsive to the needs of clients.
If you want to join our team and be part of our journey we would love to hear from you.
