Employment Solicitor

Are you an Employment Solicitor looking for a new challenge? Are you looking for a role that offers genuine career opportunity? Our client is genuinely open about the level of pqe that you offer, yet whatever your level you would have the opportunity to play significant role in the development of the Leeds based Employment Law team within this internationally recognised firm.

They are a leading international law firm with a fantastic reputation and expertise spanning three continents. The firm has a particular specialism within the healthcare sector, boasting an excellent client base of both public bodies and private corporations, and is now looking to expand its Employment offering in Leeds.

Having recruited a number of people at the mid and junior levels over the past few years, they are looking to bring in someone to be the right-hand person to the partner leading the team. It's essential that you have strong technical respondent experience, both contentious and non-contentious, that you are comfortable with direct client interaction, and happy to get involved with clients from a training perspective too. They would ideal like you to be at a stage where you can help with the client management as well, taking on some key client relationships.

The work itself is hugely varied, most Employment Lawyers will be happy to hear that there is limited corporate support but other than that the do the full spectrum of both advisory and litigation work. Given the sectoral specialisation there are all kinds of weird and wonderful issues that arise that would be certain to keep you stimulated. There are also wider considerations, often have political implications which add an interesting dimension. Despite these quirks, they don't need you to have had prior experience within the sector, they can prioritise fit for the clients and team, as well as quality of experience.

Working with the firm's existing clients means that you will be heavily involved with other teams from day one, allowing you to really become part of the office from the outset. Moreover, the office in Leeds has an incredibly collegiate environment, meaning support and resources are always there when needed. Personality is, therefore, equally as important to our client as professional experience and a like-minded individual, with a great team spirit would be a good fit.

Whilst the Leeds team is currently relatively small, you will have the opportunity to interact with the team on a national basis both professionally and socially, as well as with the wider office.
