One of Yorkshire's leading practices is looking to grow its corporate team with the addition of a Corporate Partner / Senior Associate
Unlike many appointments at this level, whilst they are ideally looking for a demonstration of ability to look after clients and develop relationships, this is more important than a following of work on day one.

The work itself is purely corporate and there is a sophisticated support offer for you, whether that be from a highly established commercial team or needing specialist support with complex tax issues.
The firm has a reputation for being extremely friendly and supportive, put simply people enjoy being there and tend to stay a long time.
If you are looking for a career move, where you can have a good degree of autonomy, work in a supportive environment but there is still plenty of scope for progression then get in touch now.
How to Apply
If you are interested in this Leeds based Corporate Partner / Senior Associate role, or would like to find out more about this or other senior and partner appointment opportunities please contact Rachael Mann at Sacco Mann or another member of our Private Practice team.

Contract review
Reviewing, drafting, and advising on the suite of contracts and documents including consultant appointments, building contracts etc, and
Due diligence reporting

They'd love you to get involved in the seminars, however if you were keen to do more pro-active business development, they are happy to give you support you in this, whether that be from the partners or their marketing team.
This firm offer something a little different but with a massively competitive package which is inline with the best in Leeds, flexible and hybrid working and a fabulous working environment.
They are happy to go one step further with the flexibility that they can offer and consider someone who is looking to work largely remotely, that said they are very collegiate so it would be very important to ensure that you ultimately feel part of the team so this would mean some visits to Leeds for both professional and social reasons.
