Solicitors & Legal Professionals | Local Authority Solicitors | Public Sector Lawyers

Salary up to -61,500 per annum | Hybrid working | Just 2 office days per month

Acorn by Synergie is partnering with a forward-thinking local authority that is investing heavily in its in-house legal function and looking to appoint talented legal professionals across a range of disciplines.

This is an opportunity to step away from the pressures of billable hours and restrictive fee targets while continuing to work on complex, challenging and high-profile matters that make a real difference to local communities.

Whether your expertise lies in Commercial, Contracts, Property, Planning, Litigation, Childcare, Governance or other public sector legal disciplines, we would love to hear from you.

• A competitive salary of up to -61,500 per annum.

• Hybrid working, with just two office days per month.

• Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme.

• Generous annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays.

• Flexible working arrangements.

• Ongoing professional development and career progression.

• A supportive and collaborative legal team environment.

• Interesting and complex caseloads.

• Excellent work-life balance.

• The opportunity to influence key decisions and strategic projects.

You will work alongside highly experienced legal professionals, advising senior stakeholders on a broad range of significant and often high-profile matters.

These are not roles where you will be hidden away behind a caseload. You will have the opportunity to become a trusted adviser, contribute strategically and see the direct impact your legal advice has on services, projects and communities.

This is an ideal opportunity for solicitors currently working in private practice who are seeking greater flexibility and work-life balance, as well as experienced public sector lawyers looking for their next challenge.

• Experience within your chosen legal specialism.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

• A commercial and pragmatic approach to legal advice.

• The ability to build effective working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

If you are looking for a legal role offering stimulating work, genuine flexibility and an employer committed to investing in its legal team, we would love to hear from you.
