Overview
If you’re a corporate lawyer in the Manchester area who wants real influence and not just a seat at the table, then this role is worth a conversation (I am very discreet).
Manchester corporate lawyers are in demand and always have been. This firm knows it and is investing deliberately for the long term, not chasing short-term billings or quick wins.
You’ll have the autonomy to build locally, with the depth and firepower of a national and award winning corporate platform behind you.
Responsibilities
* A genuine chance to help shape something.
* Take a key role in developing the Manchester corporate practice, working with a small but growing team.
* No following required! Work on incredibly high-value, complex transactions and have instant access to a strong client base (£billion deals have become the norm).
* A measured, strategic approach to growth where you will have time to do things properly and no pressure to bill for the sake of it.
* Opportunity to bring or grow a small team over time (if that’s part of your plan, not a prerequisite).
* A genuinely collaborative UK corporate team, sharing expertise and opportunity without diluting local identity.
* Manchester is a clear strategic priority where you will have real autonomy and influence and be supported (not directed) by a high-performing national team.
* A firm where senior lawyers are trusted to get on with it and properly backed when they do.
* People stay because they’re listened to, supported and given room to grow.
* A corporate practice led nationally by a highly respected, energetic leader who is passionate about collaboration and long-term success.
Qualifications
* A Senior Associate or Junior Partner corporate lawyer.
* Technically strong, commercially minded and comfortable on complex matters.
* Someone who values collaboration but wants visibility, autonomy and influence.
* Ambitious to play a leadership role in a long-term Manchester growth story.
Benefits
* Highly competitive salary and bonus.
* Remuneration that consistently outperforms market expectations.
* Clear progression and long-term opportunity within a stable, growing firm.
