Job description

Slater Heelis is a leading full-service law firm with a rich history of providing exceptional legal services to clients across the UK. Based in Manchester, we are known for our client-centric approach, professional integrity, and a commitment to excellence.

We do things a bit differently at Slater Heelis. We are a law firm steeped in rich history, priding ourselves on our long-standing reputation, experience and expertise. In May 2024, Slater Heelis became part of the Lawfront Group.

Now as part of a national partnership, we benefit from the backing Lawfront gives to its regional firms, the investment in people, technology, and cross-group collaboration.

Lawfront’s vision is to build a high-quality, national business dedicated to its people and retaining the very best in the profession to provide the very best possible service to clients.

As a consequence we are now looking to grow our Corporate team and are looking to hire an experienced solicitor, someone ideally with 4-8 years PQE, who will add their knowledge and abilities to this department.

• Providing high-quality legal advice on a wide range of corporate matters.
• Drafting and negotiating contracts and other legal documents.
• Advising clients on corporate governance, compliance, and regulatory issues.
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships.

To be successful in applying for this role, you must possess excellent client care skills and you need to be technically strong with an eye for detail as the role heavily relies on data checking and inputting. You must have the ability to communicate effectively. You must also be reliable, organised, able to work in a busy environment, possess excellent time management and interpersonal skills.

You could be based out of either our Sale or Central Manchester offices, will get exposure to high quality work and have direct access to 2 very experienced Partners who are keen to see personal development and growth with their colleagues.

The extras

As part of this role, you will be given all the tools to succeed and can expect dedicated training, professional support and a host of benefits.

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Additional day off for birthday or wellbeing
