Head of Private Client | Solicitor, CILEX or Senior Private Client Paralegal | South Manchester
Build Your Own Private Client Department
Ever wanted the opportunity to build a department your way rather than inherit someone else's?
A growing South Manchester law firm is looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Private Client professional to establish and lead its new Private Client offering.
This role would suit someone with genuine Private Client experience, whether that's an NQ Solicitor who has trained within Private Client and previously worked as a Private Client fee earner, an experienced Solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive, or a senior Paralegal looking for their next challenge.
We're looking for someone who understands the Private Client market, enjoys building relationships and is excited by the prospect of helping create and grow a department from the ground up.
