Job Details

Criminal Defence Solicitor

Harrogate

I am working with a leading multi-service High Street practice with a number of offices in the North of England who are looking for a Crime Duty Solicitor, or Solicitor looking to get Duty qualified, to join them at their Harrogate office.

The role is a mixed general Crime role dealing with matters at the Police Station and Magistrates Court, from straight forward summary only matters to grave, indictable only offences. Having Higher Rights of Audience would be a welcome bonus, with the ability to deal with some Crown Court work.

The firm is fully committed to Legal Aid work and has taken a robust stance in the market since the cuts to the Legal Aid budget and have continued to grow with the Harrogate office being one of their newer offices.

Culture wise, the firm is very close-knit and has a family feel. The lawyers here genuinely have a passion for representing those most vulnerable in society and are proud to continue in the face of cuts to the CJS.

Salary is competitive and dependent on experience.

If you would like to hear more about this role please contact Graham Rawlinson 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.
