New: Senior Banking Solicitor, 5+ PQE, £95k+, International Law Firm, Manchester

This is a chance to join the Manchester banking team of a leading international law firm at a point where the team is looking to add senior capability rather than simply backfill.

The work is genuinely top-end. You’ll act for lenders and borrowers on complex domestic and cross-border financings, with matters regularly running alongside colleagues in other offices and jurisdictions. The client base is international, and the deal sizes reflect that, so the experience you build here carries real weight in the market.

The Manchester team runs its own deals rather than supporting work led from London, which means senior lawyers take genuine ownership of transactions and client relationships. At 5+ PQE, you’ll be trusted to lead matters, supervise junior lawyers and develop your own profile with clients.

The team is led by a highly regarded partner who is invested in developing the people around them, and there is a clear route forward for someone looking to build towards the next step in their career.

For a senior banking lawyer who wants international-calibre work without relocating to London, this is a rare opening.
