Description
Corporate Professional Support Lawyer - 5+ PQE - National firm - Manchester

Corporate Professional Support Lawyer (PSL) required for the Manchester office of leading national firm.

An exciting opportunity for an existing PSL or otherwise a corporate lawyer with a minimum of five years' fee earning experience, looking to move into a PSL role.

Highly competitive salary and hybrid working policy, part-time applicants also encouraged to apply.

This is a rare opportunity to move into a professional support role in Manchester.

There are an increasing number of qualified senior lawyers opting to take this career path, particularly since the remit of PSL roles has evolved to become increasingly multi-faceted and strategic.


The obvious benefit is the lifestyle piece; the hours are more predictable than fee-earning, as the work is less client-led.

There is also no requirement to time record or work to fee earning or hours based targets.

If you are someone who enjoys research and black letter law then this would offer the opportunity to enjoy the analysis of law without the pressure of client demands.

It is also well suited to anyone who enjoys mentoring fee earners and assisting with business development.

The organisation of know-how materials, adding to and maintaining precedent banks to include reviewing and updating existing materials.

Organising, preparing and delivering training courses both internally and externally.
Assisting with business development through preparing client updates, client alerts and briefings.
Publishing relevant materials on legal updates and news on the firm's website.
Attending client events.
