Commercial Litigation Partner– Manchester
A growing commercial law firm is looking to appoint an experienced litigator to help shape and develop its litigation offering in Manchester.
The firm already has a strong litigation team in place made up largely of junior lawyers, along with an established flow of work from existing clients and internal referrals. What they are now looking for is someone with the experience, ambition and commercial mindset to lead and grow the team further.
For the right person, this represents a genuine platform to build a practice rather than simply joining an already crowded partnership structure.
The Opportunity
* Join a firm with an existing litigation team already in place
* Junior lawyers and workflow already established
* Opportunity to lead, develop and grow the team
* Support from strong corporate and real estate departments generating work
* Freedom to develop your own client relationships and practice area
The firm is open to a range of contentious specialisms including:
* Commercial Litigation
* Property Litigation
* Contentious Probate
* Other commercial disputes work
The Ideal Candidate
This role is likely to appeal to someone who:
* Is currently a Senior Associate, Legal Director or Partner
* Has some following or strong client relationships
* Feels ready for a step up into a leadership role
* Is ambitious and interested in building and developing a team
You do not need a large portable following. What matters more is someone who can bring energy, relationships and the desire to grow something over time.
With junior lawyers already in place and work coming into the department, this is the perfect platform for an ambitious litigator who wants to build a practice with support around them.
