Key Relationships Manager - New Model Law Firm - Flexible

Key Relationships Manager - Fast Growing New Model Law Firm.

My client is a new breed of law firm consolidator.

The firm’s business model is to acquire high quality established local law firms (target range £500,000 to £2M of annual fee income), introduce business efficiencies, supportive management, hungry young lawyers and state of the art IT to make each firm a better business. Every reasonably sized town is likely to have one or two of these firms. We call them “Local Hero” firms.

The firm has a very experienced management team, but there is a key gap for someone with the softer skills to manage the relationship from the centre, and between, the various branch offices. My client aims to treat each firm acquired as a client and offer fantastic client service to them to make them feel part of the whole rather than an isolated outpost. In a nutshell this is the job spec.

The right candidate for this role will have an open personality and sense of humour that people warm to, but will also bring intelligence, common sense and a work ethic to get things done. Legal experience is not a pre-requisite but could be useful, equally a background in catering, hospitality, teaching or other people focussed careers would be relevant. This may appeal to a practice manager who enjoys applying the softer skills needed to nurture critical people relationships in order that they can thrive.

The administrative office is just outside Malmesbury on a beautiful rural business park (dogs welcome if you have one) and the expectation is that this role will be part time with fully flexible working, but with at least one day a week in the office with the Directors.
