The Firm:

This Top 20 law firm has an abundance of Tier 1 rankings across the legal directories and a client base made up of FTSE 100 companies and international PLCs.

The Manchester office is one of the firm's key global sites. As a result, you can expect to gain exposure to multi-jurisdictional work and an unrivalled client base that spans multiple continents, including the US, Europe and the Middle East.

The firm is known for nurturing and developing its Lawyers, and you will have a transparent progression path in a creative and forward-thinking environment.

The Role:

This is an opportunity to join a market-leading Employment team as an Associate in the firm's Manchester office.

You will be involved in work that is unparalleled in the region.

The team is regularly involved in creating new laws as well as advising on them, giving you the opportunity to make a difference.

This opportunity moulds around the individual, with the opportunity to specialise in contentious or non-contentious work and focus on specific sectors. You can also follow the traditional path to partnership or move into a Learning & Development role as a Professional Support Lawyer in the future.

Progression to Senior Associate within the team is transparent and will likely happen around 5 - 6 PQE. You will also receive a market-leading salary and benefits package, an impressive bonus, and a good level of flexibility (2 days in the office per week).
