A multi-office boutique with offices in London and Manchester, ranked top tier by the Legal 500, is looking for a new Partner to join their firm and assist in the management of their Insolvency and Restructuring team. This firm, while small, is highly recommended for its white-collar crime, financial dispute, health and safety, and insolvency work. The existing team includes one Partner and a Solicitor, managing a busy caseload of complex matters for UK and cross-border companies including banks, financial institutions, investors, corporations, and insolvency practitioners.
This role is available for a strong Solicitor with a following to join the firm as a Partner or Head of Department, providing competitive renumeration in the form of a highly competitive bonus scheme based on introductions (not fees generated). For example: if an individual introduced £500,000 worth of fees to the firm in a year across any service, a bonus of £85,000 would be paid. If they introduced £1m, their bonus would be £210,000. This is in addition to a team bonus and 6-figure base salary.
