Amazing opportunity to build a Commercial Property team in Manchester within a traditional Top 75 UK law firm. The Firm I'm working with a well-regarded national law firm that has recently opened a Manchester office. The firm has built a reputation as one of the most progressive and forward-thinking regional practices in the UK. Having grown significantly in recent years, its evolved well beyond the traditional South West roots and now operate as a modern national firm with a strong sector focus across areas such as energy, retail and private wealth. The firm is recognised for its commercial sharpness, open culture and genuine commitment to flexibility and wellbeing. It's an environment that attracts lawyers who value high-quality work and strong client relationships but prefer to avoid the intensity and hierarchy often found in larger city firms. Culturally, the firm is collaborative and inclusive. It looks for people who buy into its sector-led approach and team ethos rather than those simply chasing salary or status. It's an excellent fit for commercially minded down-to-earth lawyers who want to contribute to a growing, ambitious practice with a real sense of purpose. The Role The firm is seeking an experienced Commercial Property Partner or Legal Director to establish and lead a Commercial Property team from its new Manchester office. While the office already houses partners and associates across several disciplines, the next key strategic hire is within Commercial Property. A following will be important to help drive the initial growth of the team, although there will be strong cross-selling opportunities and established relationships with other partners to support business development. The firm is open on specific sector focus, but a client base or specialism in Consumer & Retail or Residential Development/Housebuilding would complement its existing strengths particularly well. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of a national firm's Manchester presence. If this sounds of interest, I'd love to hear from you.

It's an excellent fit for commercially minded down-to-earth lawyers who want to contribute to a growing, ambitious practice with a real sense of purpose. The Role The firm is seeking an experienced Commercial Property Partner or Legal Director to establish and lead a Commercial Property team from its new Manchester office. While the office already houses partners and associates across several disciplines, the next key strategic hire is within Commercial Property. A following will be important to help drive the initial growth of the team, although there will be strong cross-selling opportunities and established relationships with other partners to support business development. The firm is open on specific sector focus, but a client base or specialism in Consumer & Retail or Residential Development/Housebuilding would complement its existing strengths particularly well. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of a national firm's Manchester presence. If this sounds of interest, I'd love to hear from you.
