Manchester | Flexible Working | Strong Remuneration & Benefits

A dynamic, forward-thinking national law firm is seeking a Partner or Legal Director to lead the development of its Business Immigration offering from its growing Manchester office.

This is a strategic opportunity for a senior immigration specialist to shape and grow a practice area with significant untapped potential. The firm is already trusted by a broad, well-established commercial client base, many of whom are navigating increasingly complex international mobility, sponsorship, and workforce compliance challenges - but have not yet engaged the firm for their business immigration needs.

The successful candidate will be given the autonomy to lead, the platform to grow, and the support to thrive within a firm that combines a modern, client-centric approach with a genuinely positive and collaborative environment.

What the firm offers:

  • A senior leadership role with real influence over the future of the immigration offering
  • A national firm with a strong, unified culture and a growing Manchester presence
  • Immediate access to commercial clients with business immigration needs
  • A flexible and supportive working environment, where new ideas are welcomed
  • A strong focus on collegiality, innovation, and long-term growth
  • Attractive remuneration and benefits, with clear partnership progression opportunities

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • Extensive experience in UK business immigration, including sponsorship, global mobility, compliance, and advisory (likely 8+ years PQE)
  • A strong personal reputation and a track record of client development
  • Commercial awareness and the confidence to lead a practice area across the North
  • A collaborative mindset, aligned with a firm that prizes integrity, agility, and innovation

This is a rare opportunity to build and shape a specialist practice within a nationally recognised firm - backed by a strong platform, supportive culture, and outstanding client base.

All enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence. To find out more contact Rachael Mann on 011304677111 or at Rachael.Mann@saccomann.com,
