£70k - £90k per annum
Full-time

Manchester. Sought-after Legal 100 Practice. Supportive Team. Excellent Remuneration & Extensive Benefits. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for a technically strong, employment law specialist, who wishes to progress and develop their management and leadership skills whilst attending to complex, quality instructions. 

The team offers full employment law and HR support to a prestigious client base including international organisations, FTSE 250 and many household name clients. Unusually for a team of this size, you can maintain a full round caseload of advisory, contentious and corporate support. 

You will find a supportive culture in a well-structured team including professional support lawyers and paralegals. With not less than 5 years’ PQE, you will be supporting partners with client management, development and supervision. 

The firm as a whole enjoys an enviable reputation for employee well-being reflected in several awards and accolades. It is rightly proud of its high levels of staff retention.

As well as attractive salaries, the firm provides all staff with a comprehensive range of benefits to support professional and personal well-being including financial protection, enhanced pension, holiday purchase scheme and health screening.  The firm is committed to ensuring flexible and agile working. 

Actis Legal specialises in the North West legal market and with such a detailed knowledge of the region, we are able to provide tailored and bespoke advice to individuals we act for and identify suitable career moves.  All enquiries treated in the strictest of confidence.

** Please note that references to post qualification experience (PQE) are given as a guideline to the competences required for technical, client and case management skills, as well as budgeted salary for the role. We encourage you to apply for any job for which you feel you are a suitable candidate.
