EMPLOYMENT & CHARITIES - LEEDS

Unusual opportunity for a top-class Employment Lawyer who is looking for quality of work and stimulating clients, but who doesn't want to be in a commercial firm with all the pressures and expectations that entails. Our client has a really mature approach towards its team of legal professionals, light-touch management, and quite a traditional set of core values.

Our client is a well known Leeds based law firm with a distinct culture and ethos and which is staunchly "not a commercial firm". That is despite this firm having market leading levels of expertise provided by a contingent of lawyers many of whom are from national brand backgrounds. And they enjoy a client list which includes high profile institutional clients, non-profit organisations, charities, and a element of HNW individuals and landed estates. Overall it is an intriguing firm with a precious identity within the market and a great platform for a lawyer to be part of. (Frequently this is a firm favoured by lawyers looking for "something a bit different" as whilst this isn't in-house it also isn't a typical private practice culture.)

Their interesting client base is serviced with Employment Law advice, focusing on non-contentious matters as oppose to tribunal work, and this should provide an interesting caseload for their next recruit. Well honed client skills will be of the utmost importance as you'll have client contact from the outset and immediate involvement in business development initiatives and networking with other teams, and also with clients which are across the North.

Suitable candidates will likely have c2-5yrPQE, and be coming from a good quality background, preferably with a track record in respondent work. This is a firm which values life experience and so employment lawyers who've perhaps had previous careers or who have come to the law a little later in their working life will definitely be of interest.

A unique opportunity in a firm with a unique culture.



Brooke Thornham Consulting advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the level of experience required for the role and this does not prohibit applications from candidates who are able to demonstrate the necessary skills and experience. We aim to respond to enquiries as soon as possible but if we have not contacted you within 5 days then unfortunately on this occasion your application has not quite met the requirements of our client closely enough.

Company

Brooke Thornham Consulting is a legal recruitment business established in April 2018 as a partial continuation of a previous brand which had enjoyed a successful 10 years of trading from 2007 and built a stellar reputation. With offices in Leeds, we specialise in the recruitment of Solicitors from Newly Qualified through to Partner level, and our focus is on the commercial market.

We are well networked with clients in the north of England where we serve an enviable client list encompassing Top 20 national brands and also regional practices and boutique firms. Our trade mark is our pragmatism, and trying to offer value at every opportunity.

We believe that when you give more, you get more. That’s why we’re generous with our time and expertise, and why we go out of our way to understand you, share our knowledge and add something extra – every time you work with us.

We’re experts in our field – and we get results. But over time, we develop something even more important: the intuitive understanding that really special relationships are built on.
