Manchester |Partner level | Permanent Orwins is growing – deliberately, strategically and at pace. We are looking for an exceptional Commercial lawyer ready to step into a partner-level role and help us shape what our commercial team becomes. We do law differently. Less hierarchy, more ambition. A genuine commitment to doing brilliant work for clients and building a firm people are proud to be part of. If you are an experienced commercial lawyer with a strong client base, a commercial mindset and the drive to grow a practice – this is your opportunity to do exactly that with the full backing of the firm behind you. What This Looks Like Adding value to our commercial team offering – building, developing and growing a high-quality practice. Advising a broad range of clients — businesses, senior executives and employers — on contentious and non-contentious commercial matters. Playing a genuine business development role — bringing clients with you, developing new relationships and positioning Orwins as the law firm of choice in our markets.
