The Firm:

This Top 100 law firm has a well-established, highly regarded reputation in the City of London, and has grown significantly in recent years. The North West is a crucial area of growth, with a recent state of the art office opening in Manchester. This office will be their Northern hub and will play a pivotal role in the firm's growth as a whole.

Due to their existing reputation, there is work to be fed through from day one from their high profile client base, made up of HNW individuals, SMEs, and national and international PLCs, many of which are household names.

You will join the firm at a genuinely exciting time as they capitalise on record turnover and year on year growth of 35%. Their Manchester office will receive significant investment.
