Corporate Lawyer - Modern, Flexible Non-Private Practice Role - Truly Different
Leeds
I am working with a fantastic Leeds business who have really grown over the last couple of years and are looking for a Corporate Lawyer to join their expanding team.
All the lawyers here have 'Big Law' experience but wanted to be part of something different. The team is relaxed, friendly and flexible but at the same time professional. Advising SME's and a range of other businesses on not only legal but financial, consultancy, and HR issues.
The focus is not on billable hours but on providing the right comprehensive service to the client. With Lawyers, Accountants, and HR professionals in the business there is a collaborative approach to joining up professional services and providing a full service to the clients with everyone pulling in the same direction.
The firm are looking for a Corporate Lawyer ideally around 6years + PQE who is comfortable handling a caseload of general Corporate transactions and capable of running a deal.
Fit as much as PQE is important and those that 'get' the idea of doing law differently to the traditional private practice way and are open to that, will be the right sort of lawyer that the business is looking for.
Not only is the firm a genuinely friendly place to work there is a lot flexibility where you can work around other commitments you have. School run to do? That can be discussed. Other needs that require flexibility outside of the 9-5 grind - you will find that here.
This is a unique and unusual opportunity for the right lawyer and the firm will pay competitively to get the right person on board.
If you would like to hear more about this role and are ready to go against the grain of the way 'traditional' law works then get in touch with Graham Rawlinson at QED Legal for a confidential chat.

QED
An acronym of the latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum which translates as "thus it is demonstrated" or "that which was to be demonstrated". It is most often used as an annotation at the end of a complex mathematical, scientific or philosophical argument to show that the author had proven what he had set out to prove. In recent times it has also been translated as "Quite Easily Done".
As a recruiter you have to network and speak to large amounts of people and lots of law firms to really understand the market and have the connections to match people with opportunity quickly when the time arises. A good recruiter needs to be Quick, Excellent and Dynamic in everything that they do. Allow the team at QED to demonstrate what they can do for your firm or your career.
