Employment Lawyer

A successful Employment team with a national reputation requires a skilled Solicitor to join them. Our client is a highly regarded law firm located in Leeds City Centre handling both national and local work of a very high standard, much of it for household named clients. Working in modern, open plan offices, they can offer you a friendly and supportive environment where every effort will be made to support your career development.
The firm is dedicated to quality client relationships, and are seeking an ambitious individual with commercial acumen who will strive to maintain the firm's high quality. Importantly they have a reputation for progressing people at the rate that they are capable of being progressed and there are lots of examples of people really fast tracking their career here, your pace of development can largely be dictated by you rather than the firms structure.
This role offers the opportunity to work on a purely respondent caseload acting on behalf of a range of clients in various different industries on all aspects of employment law. You can expect to deal with cases such as unfair dismissal, discrimination, breach of contract, holiday pay alongside advising on corporate support, executive terminations and challenging disciplinary and grievance issues. The work is of a high standard and will enable you to get stuck into some complex matters.

The firm needs someone experienced who is able to pick up existing cases and hit the ground running. Therefore they have indicated that candidates with at least 4 yrs pqe will be of interest, however they are happy to consider much more senior lawyers too.

Whilst there is a full caseload, they are keen to recruit who is confident and eager to get involved in business development to help bring work in and grow the team in the midterm. There will also be the opportunity to take on wider responsibilities such as training and supervising more junior members in the team, management experience would be beneficial but certainly not essential for the role.

This is a genuine career role for someone with the right experience and approach.
