You will have the opportunity to develop your own skills as well as helping to develop the team with your own knowledge and skill-base. The team are steadily growing, and have consistently had a high retention rate of their solicitors.

This role gives you the opportunity to work in a firm which produces high quality work for established clients covering both contentious and non-contentious practice.

You will have the opportunity to bring work in on your own account as well as servicing already existing clients of the firm, adding to the significant growth the team have already seen. There will also be a training element to this role including delivery of client seminars and training, as well as coaching and supporting more junior lawyers to be the best they can be and maintain the firm's fantastic reputation for developing high quality solicitors.

Our client is ideally looking for someone who is at partner level and looking for a new and exciting challenge.

The firm pride themselves on their client facing work and understand there is a business or person behind every case. This ethos will be relayed to both the more junior lawyers within your team as well as the clients themselves, ensuring that the company culture is nurtured and extended.

This is an opportunity to embed yourself in a unique and forward-thinking law firm who pride themselves on both the treatment of their clients and colleagues, creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere for everyone to reap the benefits of.
