Employment Legal Director

Manchester – £80,000 - £100,000

Employment Legal Director - Manchester - c.£100k package

This is an exceptional opportunity unlike anything else on the market.  If you are an ambitious employment solicitor who enjoys the advisory element of employment law, someone who builds strong relationships with clients and who is looking to ‘captain your own ship’ within an organisation that has significant resources and plans to double turnover in the next 3 years – then this is for you.
  
At present the firm have a strong reputation across multiple practice areas and have a national presence in employment – servicing both SME and major international corporate clients.  As part of their strategic plans for 2025 they now want to offer someone the opportunity to lead and develop the new advisory department – building on the contentious work they already offer to clients whilst being responsible for marketing, mentoring, and developing their expertise in non-contentious employment law.
  
You will be handsomely rewarded with a package that touches six figures and the chance to fast track into Partnership – at that stage things get very interesting with one of the best salaried partner packages in the North West worth close to £150k.
  
This appointment is not about ‘who has the biggest following’ – indeed you might not be able to port any of your clients across – it is about the right person: ambitious, empathetic and, in truth a little adventurous.
  
Feel free to speak to me in the first instance as I’m sure you’ll have plenty of questions.
