Are you a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive in the Cumbria region considering a legal career move, or simply interested in a discussion about the market, salaries, benefits or your individual career options? Cumbria & the Lake District is generally a buoyant legal region and one we have enjoyed focusing on for a number of years now.
We have been involved with and witnessed a whole array of local moves (many that happen under the radar on a strategic basis, rather than as a result of a vacancy being advertised)
As a legal recruitment agency, we have also noticed new talent moving into the area from the larger cities in order to take advantage of the quality of life which this region offers.
If you are contemplating a move, a sensible first step would be for us to have a confidential conversation to assess the sort of options that would be available for your specific requirements. We generally see a willingness of law firms and partners to look at an individual solicitors’ talents, interests and requirements on a bespoke basis.
We have established relationships with law firms varying in size and reach across Cumbria, including Kendal, Cockermouth, Carlisle, Penrith and Windermere, to name a few locations. We are proud to have become a trusted advisor to many law firms in the region, which ensures that we understand their plans and requirements and so are able to provide active and tentative candidates alike, with highly effective introductions that bring out the best career options.
The law firms we collaborate with currently have live vacancies in areas such as:
Commercial Property
Private Client
Residential Conveyancing
Private Client & Contentious Probate
Family Law
Employment Law
Construction
Commercial Litigation
Corporate & Commercial Law
Irrespective of whether you are Partner, Senior Associate or Solicitor level or perhaps approaching qualification and looking to assess your options, I would be happy to provide career, salary or progression planning advice.
If you are interested in a discussion about Solicitor, Senior Associate or Partner level legal positions in the Cumbria or Lake District region, get in touch with Leona Taylor, our specialist Cumbria recruiter, to discuss further.
You can reach us at leona.taylor@saccomann.com or on 0161 831 6890 to have a chat about the Cumbria market.
To hear about any other opportunities that we have available across the North West, then please visit our website. Alternatively, if you know of anyone who would benefit from a bespoke conversation to discuss their personal career goals, please let them or us know as we offer a reward for successful referrals.
