Legal jobs in Manchester and across the North West

Named the uncrowned capital of the North, Manchester is considered the UK’s second city after London. Always at the forefront of innovation, Manchester was the world’s first industrial city, now it is home to some of the biggest media brands such as the BBC and ITV plus it plays host to one of the fastest growing startup scenes in the UK. With the second-fastest growing economy in the UK, a diverse population, iconic sports teams, a rich music history, an energetic nightlife and a thriving multicultural food scene, Manchester has almost everything that London has to offer, but without the crippling living costs.
