We are looking to speak to a Planning and Environmental Partner who has a proven track record and client following, and who wants to be Head of Planning for the growing Manchester office of a national firm. You will need to be an existing Planning and Environmental Partner, ideally at another large firm in Manchester. This opportunity is great for someone who is keen to have autonomy to grow a Planning and Environmental team within their vision, with the backing of a thriving national Planning and Environmental service line, which sits as its own offering.

This practice has a formidable reputation when it comes to the planning and environmental work they undertake being one of the largest offerings in the UK. They act for a range of clients both locally and nationally in the public and private sector. They are able to boast a range of awards and accreditations, including being recognised across many locations in the Legal 500. They undertake the full plethora of planning work, including offering development and strategic land advice, dealing with S106 planning, highways and other statutory agreements, being involved with large infrastructure projects, aiding with compulsory purchase, compensation and highways and other orders, as well as advocacy, judicial reviews, inquiries, hearings and public examinations.

If you are a Planning Partner either lacking the headspace to grow your offering, feeling like you have too many hoops to jump through to get the investment you want, or you have built a planning team before and want to do it again - please get in touch for a confidential chat.

This opportunity comes with equity partnership, competitive and creative packages, fully flexible and hybrid working, and a collaborative working culture. You will be given time and the opportunity to build something very exciting withing a planning and environmental team which is stand alone, and not a bolt on or within another service line.

If you are a Planning Partner, please contact Emma Delli-Bovi to discuss your options and this position further.
