A top of market salaryProgression opportunitiesHybrid working model - 2-3 daysWe are pleased to offer a unique opportunity for a private client solicitor to step into a role of high impact and visibility within an established, award-winning law firm. Our client, with a commendable reputation in the North West seeks an ambitious individual to lead the charge.

You will be joining as a Private Client Partner, with the potential to start as a Partner right from the onset. The role is diverse, splitting your time 50/50 between business development/networking and department management/fee earning. With the support of the existing senior associate, you will grow the department from the ground up.

The ideal candidate will have significant experience as a private client solicitor and an aptitude for team management and business development. You don't necessarily need to bring an existing client following, but if not, then readiness to engross yourself in networking and team building is a must.
