Manchester, United Kingdom The City Recruiter Full time
Job Description

The City Recruiter is partnering with one of the Premier Commercial Solicitor firms in the Manchester Area.


This position is for solicitors with over 7 years PQE with a strong commercial background.


This position is paying upwards of £60,000 dependant on technical ability and experience, as well as an advantageous bonus scheme and generous benefits package. The firm is based right in Manchester City centre, as well as offering 2 days working from home.


The successful candidate would be working as a “number 2” to the head of department and be expected to have a broad spectrum of experience even if latterly they have tended to focus on one particular area e.g. commercial property disputes. The clients you will be working with are predominantly SMEs and hence the work undertaken in the department is bespoke and quite varied.


Note that we may consider candidates who have slightly less experience e.g. 5-6 years PQE if they can demonstrate the appropriate skills and experience.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage a varied caseload of commercial matters, including but not limited to contract disputes, intellectual property issues, corporate transactions, employment law, regulatory compliance, and commercial litigation.
  • Provide high-quality legal advice and strategic guidance to clients, including businesses, corporations, and individuals, to help them achieve their commercial objectives while mitigating legal risks.
  • Conduct legal research, analyse complex legal issues, and prepare legal opinions, memoranda, and other relevant documents to support client matters.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, including contracts, leases, licenses, and partnership agreements, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • Represent clients in negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, and court proceedings, advocating on their behalf and striving to achieve favourable outcomes.
  • Collaborate effectively with colleagues within the legal team and across departments to provide integrated legal solutions and support cross-functional initiatives.
  • Mentor junior solicitors and provide guidance and support to help develop their legal skills and expertise.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships through exceptional service, responsiveness, and professionalism, and actively contribute to business development efforts to attract new clients and expand existing relationships.
