Legal Counsel

Sacco Mann is working alongside a highly reputable business established 25 years ago working with regulated advisers to provide a range of award-winning personal pensions for UK and non-UK residents.

Innovative technology combined with decades of experience and talented people allows them to lead the industry in providing a powerful pension support.

The group has a clear focus on technology and innovation backed by a strong set of values.

They now seek to recruit a UK qualified solicitor for a hybrid position based in south Manchester, working on a part time basis (3-4 days).

At the heart of the group is a small, however integral and stable In-house legal team which is looking to recruit a solicitor to work alongside the Head of Legal GC and Co Sec on a range of responsibilities working closely with senior stakeholders across the Group including; taking a lead in commercial contract negotiation across jurisdictions; dealing with multi-jurisdictional legal queries; providing company secretarial assistance and involvement in and supporting business and strategic projects.

You’ll be reviewing, negotiating, and amending terms and conditions with third parties (such as financial advisers, discretionary fund managers, etc) as well as reviewing various types of deeds and other types of agreements such as terms and conditions of business and other related literature for the company, including the company website and other systems.

This varied role likely to suit a qualified solicitor with some PQE in general commercial law (previous in-house experience and/or knowledge of pensions law, trusts or other financial services will be an advantage but is not essential) who is versatile and has good commercial acumen and awareness of the business operations.

Interestingly, those solicitors with a real estate asset management and interest in a more generalist commercial (contracts) role are also welcome to apply.

The role is based on 3-4 days a week basis, with one day office based in their offices in south Manchester.

This is a progressive, supportive and personable business with strong moral values and collegiate culture.

Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience.
