A progressive and modern national law firm is looking to appoint a Partner or Legal Director to join its Manchester office, taking the lead in the development and expansion of its Commercial Litigation practice.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a senior litigator to take on a key strategic role within a firm known for its client-centric approach, enviable client base, and genuinely collaborative working environment. The firm offers national strength with a unified culture across locations and is committed to delivering both exceptional client service and an exceptional place to work.
There is a wealth of opportunity to build upon existing relationships - many clients are well-established businesses with complex litigation needs but have yet to engage the firm's dispute resolution team. The right candidate will be given the freedom and support to proactively develop this area of the practice.
The firm offers:
- A high-impact leadership role in a thriving Manchester office
- Plenty of untapped client opportunities across the firm's wider commercial base
- A flexible working culture designed to support high performance and wellbeing
- A forward-thinking, positive work environment where initiative is encouraged
- A national platform with a unified, cross-office approach to client service
- Strong remuneration and benefits, including clear progression opportunities
The ideal candidate will bring:
- Deep expertise in commercial litigation and dispute resolution (likely 8+ years PQE)
- A strong personal reputation and network, with a track record of developing client relationships
- Commercial acumen and the ability to lead strategically and collaboratively
- A desire to help shape the future direction of the litigation practice within a growth-minded firm
This is a rare opportunity for a senior litigator to step into a leadership role with autonomy, support, and real scope to build something exceptional.
