Regulatory Partner

Preston – £100,000 - £150,000

Regulatory Partner | Manchester | Leadership Opportunity
  
A growing commercial law firm is looking to appoint a senior Regulatory lawyer into its Manchester office as part of a wider strategic expansion across the North West.

This is a genuine leadership role within a firm that has built strong momentum in Manchester through senior lateral hires, investment in people and a culture that gives experienced lawyers the freedom to shape their own practice.
  
The opportunity would suit an established Regulatory Partner or ambitious Legal Director/Senior Associate with a strong client following or clear market profile who wants a platform with less bureaucracy, more visibility and the ability to influence growth.
  
The work is broad and commercially focused, with scope across areas such as:
  • Health & Safety
  • Environmental
  • Trading Standards
  • Regulatory investigations
  • Corporate compliance
  • Professional discipline
  • Crisis management and risk
  • Transport and logistics regulation
  • Food and manufacturing sectors
There is flexibility around sector specialism and the firm is open-minded about where a candidate’s client base sits, provided there is a commercial and relationship-led approach.
  
What makes the role stand out is the balance between ambition and culture. The Manchester office is growing quickly but still retains the feel of a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where senior lawyers are trusted to lead rather than managed through layers of process.
  
You would be joining a business that is investing heavily into Manchester, with strong internal support, sensible growth plans and a partnership group that values autonomy and long-term relationship building.
