Alison McKee and Mary Nowell have joined Manchester legal recruiter Sacco Mann as locum consultants.

The company is expanding its locum offering to take advantage of a rising demand for immediate high-quality legal experts.

According to the company’s locum director Kelly Wadkins, working on a temporary basis is becoming an increasingly popular avenue for lawyers seeking new challenges in an uncertain market.

“The current economic conditions mean that our locum offering has never been more important to our clients,” Wadkins said. The arrival of the two new consultants “allows us to continue to deliver the service levels our clients need and to expand further”, Wadkins added.

With a degree in law, Nowell has worked in interim legal recruitment for over six years operating across the commerce, industry and private practices sectors.

McKee has in-depth expertise in the locum and contract markets.
