1 week ago

Plymouth Devon, United Kingdom Cathedral Appointments | South West Recruitment Full time

Our client is a highly regarded, award-winning regional firm with a reputation for quality work and strong collaboration, both with colleagues and clients, in order to develop lasting relationships. With their focus on quality, professionalism and accessibility, they provide tailored legal solutions and trusted advice that exceeds expectations and delivers positive outcomes for their valued clients.
Insolvency litigation
As the team grows, there is considerable scope for progression to senior level and a potential future leadership role in time for someone with the right blend of technical skills, personal motivation and commercial awareness.

Your primary focus will be to provide exceptional client service, appreciating the commercial context and (for some clients) personal implications of their current circumstances by offering considered and commercially relevant to support them prior to and during insolvency proceedings. In addition to developing (or expanding) your existing referrer networks in the region to secure new client instructions, you will be actively collaborating and sharing information with the Corporate & Commercial teams within the firm, to ensure that they are kept fully informed about matters affecting their established clients. The firm prides itself on its ‘home-grown’ lawyers and ability to attract, develop and retain top talent, so you can be expect to be well supported and encouraged by colleagues and partners across the firm. Depending upon your preference, you will be based from offices in Exeter, Torquay or Plymouth with hybrid working.

Having gained experience as an Insolvency Lawyer in a UK law firm, you will be accustomed to handling a varied caseload of good quality insolvency matters with limited supervision, and with increasing independence over time. Likely to already be an Associate or Senior Associate, you will have benefited from good quality training and post qualifying experience in contentious matters, with strong client care skills and an ability to listen and empathise with clients as needed. You will understand how to generate new business opportunities for your team and the wider firm, promoting your profile and building up referrer networks. You will be keen to build out your network with Insolvency Practitioners across the region, and contribute towards broader business development activities in agreement with the Partner.
You are likely to have gained some experience of managing team members, allocating work and providing quality supervision in your current or previous role, being a strong communicator with a positive approach to developing individuals in their technical skills and confidence. You focus on keeping up to date with the latest legal developments affecting insolvency and work proactively to consider potential impact on your clients.
You will possess proven rapport building skills and you are tenacious, thorough, and attentive to detail, taking pride in the high standards of your work.

Our current benefits package includes:
~25 days annual leave per annum, plus Bank Holidays
~ Birthday leave
~ Employee Assistance Programme
~ Cycle to Work scheme
~ Firm pension scheme
