Considering a career move to Manchester? We’re not surprised, since the city continues to be known as the “main hub of commercial activity” in the North West, as well as an “attractive place to do business”, according to the authors of the Legal 500 report 2018.
While London remains the epicentre of the UK’s legal sector, Manchester is a fast-paced, vibrant city to work in, and it has reinvented itself as the country’s second biggest legal hub.
The Manchester legal market, featuring a large number of solicitors, boasts a relentless working culture for the city at the heart of the Northern Powerhouse. Business is booming, and the regeneration of key areas such as Castlefield, Spinningfields and MediaCity make the city all the more attractive.
So who are the firms hiring in Manchester right now? We’ve put together this special feature to introduce you to the firms who are seeking top talent, and what they have to offer you.
