Job Details

An exciting new role has arisen with a major UK law firm who are looking to recruit an Employment lawyer to join their Leeds City Centre office.

The firm is known for working with some of the world's most ambitious and rapidly growing businesses and has a network of offices working together as one national team, meaning there is great opportunity for development and growth with your career. The firm has an outstanding reputation and is an 'Employer of Choice'.

The Role:

The department largely handles complex project and advisory work rather than targeting high volume tribunal work. You will get the opportunity to support the partners with their work, whilst also handling your own matters. This way of working will ensure that your development will be fast tracked and working with a number of partners will ensure that you have exposure to different styles and ways of working. There are no glass ceilings within this practice and they will progress you at the pace that's appropriate for you.

The team in Leeds is newly formed but is developing really quickly and they are winning household name clients on a daily basis. Their clients are largely from the private sector and cut across many sectors , including media, retailers, transportation, to name a few.

The Candidate:

Ideally, you will have between 1 and 4 years post qualification experience. However, the firm is happy to offer some flexibility on this, so if your experience falls closely outside of this range then please don't hesitate to apply if you think you should be considered.

It's important that you are positive about getting involved in client training and seminars and have a polished range of communication skills as this role requires lots of client contact.

A strong background of experience within employment law is essential for this role and you will have a real motivation to continue developing your skills and excelling in your career.

Advocacy skills are not essential however if you are interested in advocacy you will of course have the opportunity to undertake this.

Overall, you will be keen to become a part of a solid team working in a vibrant environment.

Benefits:

A competitive salary with full benefits is on offer for the successful candidate.

How to Apply:

If you would like to apply for this role then please contact Rachael Mann or another member of the Private Practice team at Sacco Mann. Alternatively, if this role is not for you but you know someone who could be interested then please contact them or us as we offer a reward for successful referrals. For full terms, please visit our website.

Company

Sacco Mann are specialist Legal Recruiters recognised as regional experts with a genuine interest in, as well as knowledge of, their marketplace. We are renowned for giving clear and straightforward career advice and true quality of service.

We have thirteen experienced consultants focussing on legal recruitment, encompassing the Commercial, General Practice, Public Sector and In House positions, both permanent and locum. In addition two consultants specialise within the Patents and Trademarks sector.

We feel that much of our success has been due to the fact that we:

- try to accurately guage and understand what both candidates and clients require and indeed that which they are able to offer and then bring the two together
- have a demonstrable knowledge of the marketplace. Fundamentally what you need is not merely someone who can post your CV to a practice, but someone whose strength of contacts within the firms can add value, ensuring that you are given proper consideration
- discuss each role with you thoroughly and get prior clearance before a CV is submitted. This is an extremely important for protecting confidentiality and avoiding duplication
- brief you fully prior to any interviews, ensuring that you know what the role entails and how the interview will be run. We also give you honest interview feedback - if you don't do very well in an interview you can always learn from the experience
- are accessible and return your calls

Why use Sacco Mann?

Principally because we believe that the points outlined above are fundamental. We enjoy recruitment, and we are good at it, because we genuinely enjoy assisting people make positive career moves. We don't shuffle paper because we know our marketplace and are therefore in a position to give reliable, knowledgeable and practical advice.

The vast majority of our applicants and clients are at pains to thank us for the advice and service that we provide and we believe the high level of referral business is a direct result of the fact that lawyers value our input.
