Job Details

Employment Solicitor

Leeds

Our client is a Top 100 national law firm who are ranked as one of the leading firms in their niche sector in the Legal 500. With offices across the country, they have a superb reputation within their field. They are looking for an experienced Employment Solicitor to join their busy team in central Leeds.

The Employment team deals with a mix of contentious and non-contentious employment work on behalf of both public and private sector corporate clients. The work is extraordinarily varied and will encompass all aspects of employment work, from general advisory to defence work in employment tribunals, redundancy advice and the application of primary legislation in their niche sector to employment issues.

To be considered for this position, you must have around 2-5 years PQE gained at a leading firm, and you will have experience of advising corporate bodies in relation to employment issues. Experience of employment law in relation to public sector employers is preferred for this role but is not essential. You must have an excellent manner with clients, and the ability to influence senior client stakeholders.

Salary is competitive based on experience, plus an excellent benefits package and the opportunity for genuine progression in your career.

If you would like to hear more about this role please contact Graham Rawlinson at QED Legal for a confidential chat.

In recent times it has also been translated as "Quite Easily Done".
