Senior Associate – Commercial | Manchester | £75k-85k + Bonus + Genuine Work-Life Balance You’re joining a growing commercial team being built by a senior lawyer who has come from a significant in-house background and is now shaping a team with a very deliberate, balanced approach to private practice.

The team is being built with a clear focus on: • Sustainable working hours, • Realistic expectations, • A supportive, collaborative environment, • High-quality work without the usual private practice pressures It’s not trying to compete purely on salary - but the package is strong for the market, and the lifestyle offering is a genuine differentiator.

If you’re at the stage where you want better balance, more variety, and a role where you’re trusted to just get on with it, this is worth a conversation.
