Location: Warwickshire/Midlands Role: Criminal and Regulatory Lawyer Hours: Permanent (37 hours - part time considered) Salary: 46,731 to 49,764 Sellick Partnership is delighted to be working exclusively with the shared Legal Team for South Warwickshire. This successful in-house legal team provides the full range of legal services across two local authorities: Stratford on Avon and Warwick District Councils. The current vacancy for a criminal and regulatory lawyer lies within the Planning and Regulatory Team. This is a dynamic and varied team which covers several areas of legal practice, including: planning, licensing, regulatory, housing and general criminal and civil litigation. This team supports the two local authorities in a range of exciting projects. The lawyers you will work with are friendly and supportive, with a strong team ethic. As the new regulatory lawyer you will be an integral part of this team, delivering legal advice and support to all aspects of the Council's services. You will be a positive and highly motivated person who is confident, versatile and innovative. Daily duties of this post will focus on work relating to enforcement and regulatory law. The work involves pre prosecution advice on matters such as planning, building regulations, environmental health, and licensing, as well as civil and criminal litigation.

Flexible and non-traditional working patterns are encouraged, and you can work on a full-time or part-time basis. The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in local government and may be someone with a significant legal expertise in the relevant areas or someone relatively newly qualified with a keen desire to learn and develop. Most importantly, we seek applications from enthusiastic and adaptable people who are motivated to use their research, analytical and communications skills to provide practical, solution-focussed legal advice to internal clients. You will be a qualified Solicitor/Barrister/FILEX with a current Practising Certificate. You will join a sizable team of lawyers and support staff.

Working from home the financial split would be 80/20. PLEASE NOTE THIS ROLE IS NOT SALARIED AND YOU MUST HAVE CLIENT FOLLOWING TO OFFER THIS CLIENT The Firm: Our Legal client with offices across the Country combines a great heritage with a dynamic, modern approach, not only in the practice of law but also by utilising a highly innovative approach to recruitment. As a result, the firm has been very successful in attracting high-calibre lawyers to join the firm on a consultancy basis. Our client is now looking to extend this dedicated consultancy recruitment programme, offering experienced solicitors with a solid following of clients the opportunity to combine the prestige and security that comes from working with an established Legal 500 firm, which offers access to a wide range of clients including national and international clients, HNW individuals, and global organisations, with the freedom, flexibility and financial benefits of being Self-Employed. The Consultant Solicitor Role: You will be joining on a non-salaried, profit-share basis. Working from home the financial split would be 80/20; if you would prefer to work in the London City office, located close to Moorgate tube, then the profit share would be 60/40. Working as a Consultant Solicitor gives you the flexibility to plan your working hours, the freedom to take holidays to suit you, and your choice of location, should you choose to work from home. With no commute, and no requirement to attend office-based management meetings, you could use those hours more profitably to maximise your billable hours should you wish or focus on a better work-life balance with your family. Additionally, you can enjoy substantial financial benefits; for instance, the financial benefits that would accrue to someone with a following of 100k plus on a fee-share basis would far outweigh what you could expect to earn in a salaried role. For more information on this Consultant Solicitor vacancy, please contact Marcus Stevens quoting Ref 36762.
