The successful candidate for this position will be a qualified Solicitor with experience in their chosen practice area, whether that be Private Client, Property (Residential or Commercial), Family, Employment, Commercial Litigation, Corporate or another discipline. The firm is open-minded on level and would be keen to speak with lawyers from Associate through to Partner level who are considering a longer-term move to the region.
This firm has built an excellent reputation across Cumbria and the wider North West, acting for a broad client base that includes business owners, entrepreneurs, agricultural clients, landed estates, high-net-worth individuals and established local businesses. Lawyers enjoy a strong quality of work, close client relationships and a level of responsibility that can often be difficult to secure in larger city-centre practices.
The role would particularly suit someone currently practising in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle or another major city who is looking for a better work-life balance without compromising on the quality of their work. There is a genuine opportunity to become a key member of the team, develop your own client relationships and play an active role in the firm’s future growth and development.
The Lake District offers an unrivalled lifestyle, with stunning scenery, outdoor pursuits and excellent local communities, whilst still maintaining strong transport links to the North West and beyond. The firm also offers a flexible and supportive working environment, with hybrid working options available where appropriate.
The salary on offer is competitive and will be dependent on experience, alongside a comprehensive benefits package and genuine long-term progression opportunities. Culture is a major selling point here, with a friendly, collaborative and down-to-earth environment where lawyers are valued for the contribution they make rather than simply their billing figures.
Feel free to get in touch with Nick Skelly at QED Legal for a confidential chat and to discuss this role in more detail.
