You’ll focus on conversion and client care, with no business development or advocacy work required, and get hands-on support from a dedicated Sales Director if needed.

As the firm continues to grow nationally, you’ll have a clear path to step into a team leader role, supported by a senior lawyer to help you enhance your leadership skills and take the next step in your career.

• Comfortable running your own caseload independently (essential)
• Strong communication and commercial awareness (essential)
• Confident converting new enquiries from prospective clients (essential)
• Boutique or Legal 500 background (desirable)
• Positive, open-minded and values work-life balance (essential)

Salary & Benefits

• £55,000–£80,000 FTE depending on experience
• Part-time options (3 or 4 days) available
• 1 day in-office per week (Manchester) – flexible to fortnightly or monthly
• Christmas shutdown
• Tailored perks to suit you (e.g. extra holiday for high performers)
• Fast-track progression to Team Leader, Associate or Senior Associate
• Focused on wellbeing and family-first flexibility
• No targets for BD or advocacy – just legal work and client care
• Support from a Sales Director for lead conversion
