Job description

Insolvency Partner | Top Regional Law Firm | North West

Our client is a well‑established, full‑service law firm with a strong presence across the North West and a genuinely collegiate, partner‑led culture. They're now looking to appoint an Insolvency Partner to lead and grow their insolvency & restructuring offering.

The opportunity

This is a rare chance to build within the brand of a solid regional practice. The firm's commercial litigation team is performing well and generates a flow of contentious insolvency work, giving an immediate client base to tap into and a genuine soft landing - you won't be starting from zero. From there, the brief is to develop your own network, build out a team around you, and shape the practice as your own.

What they're looking for

• A qualified Insolvency specialist, likely 8+ PQE or existing Partner/Legal Director level
• A strong personal following or referral network across the North West
• Someone who wants to build a team and a practice, not just service a caseload
• Comfortable operating with autonomy in a firm that genuinely backs its partners

What's on offer

• Competitive, negotiable package reflecting experience and following
• Genuine platform to build and lead a practice area, with full firm backing
• Warm referral pipeline from an established commercial litigation team
• Supportive, non-bureaucratic partnership culture
• Be part of a highly performing North West firm, with full growth potential
