Legal Recruitment Manchester | The Manchester economy is thriving, and continues to grow in terms of inward investment, finance, property, and the booming tech & media sector. Despite concerns over Brexit, Manchester certainly is a City that is open for business, and as a result there has been a hive of activity in the local legal sector in recent years. The Manchester Law Society is growing and now has more than 3,000 members, and now most major national legal practices have an established presence in Manchester making the region the largest legal hub outside of London. This increased regional presence means a vastly competitive legal job market.

2 Amazing Roles
Job Title: Senior Digital Marketing Exec
I first spoke to Chris in 2018 when he approached me for a role he had. I was unsure it would be the right fit for me but both Chris and the company owner were keen that we should meet. It turned out they were both right, it was one of the best jobs I've ever had. I came back to Chris after unfortunately having to leave that role due to the pandemic. He found me another amazing position and ticked all the boxes I had regarding pay, hybrid working etc. He's thorough, friendly, and always happy to help. Thanks so much to Chris and Manchester Staff for being a pivotal part in helping me hit my career... Read More

Quality Service
Job Title: Head of Paid Social
I was approached by Richard Donaghy regarding an exciting Head of Paid Social role, and was eager to find out more. From then, Richard was an absolute credit. He really took the time to run me through the role, and was supportive throughout the interview process. I ended up being offered the position, to which I accepted. Richard was polite and supportive from start to finish, and I couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you Richard!

Legal Recruitment Agencies in Manchester
Solicitors
We recruit solicitors, fee earners and lawyers in Manchester in all practice specialities such as crime, conveyancing, commercial, employment, litigation, corporate, and financial services. Despite Manchester being the largest legal services hub outside of London, there is an apparent shortfall of available talent in the region due to massive growth competition. This makes recruiting solicitors a real challenge, so you need local professional recruiters on your side to headhunt and secure the best talent available.
Conveyancing
We recruit Licensed conveyancers in Manchester at all levels from solicitors, administrators, conveyancing assistants, conveyancing legal secretaries and fee earners. With the average salaries of conveyancing solicitors in the region at around £33,000 per annum, and conveyancing jobs on the rise in Manchester due to the regions regeneration, plus the investment boom in real estate, we only expect this trend to continue.
Legal Secretary
Legal secretaries are the “go-to” person in the practice for senior lawyers to manage the administrative processes. Legal secretaries manage a variety of other duties such as booking travel and accommodation, performing Digital dictation, preparing bundles, and diary management. In smaller firms, the legal secretaries may also be expected to manage finances and expenses, but in large firms there are usually finance departments for this.
Paralegal
“The Fourth Arm of the Legal Sector” according to the PRR, Paralegals form the largest sector in the legal profession. Regulatory bodies such as The Professional Paralegal Register (PPR), and the Institute of Paralegals have provided much needed regulation and competency standards to the profession in recent years. Paralegals are hugely important elements of the legal team, and the work they do is almost the same as the Solicitors they work for. With salaries between £18,000 - £25,000, Paralegals often provide affordable access to justice and legal advice.
Legal Executive
Legal executives are specialised fee-earning qualified lawyers who do work that is similar to solicitors, but focus in specific areas such as conveyancing, family law or . Solicitors in general have a much broader knowledge of law and possess more general training. We search for Legal Executives who have completed their Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) and possess the necessary experience/specialism for our clients role.
Case Handlers
Case handlers provide administrative legal support and are responsible for delivering outstanding client experiences by providing front line contact with clients. Cases can vary depending on the sector, but this can cover areas such as personal injury, conveyancing, medical, litigation and much more. Case handlers must be able to provide excellent customer service, display empathy and professionalism when dealing with sensitive cases. Salaries vary depending on the complexity and quantity of cases, so we see salaries vary from as low as £20,000 to as high as £35,000 per annum.
