Job Details

Planning Lawyer 5+ PQE Leeds

Our client is a national Top 50 firm with a good network of offices cross the UK and they are looking for a planning lawyer with upwards of 5 years PQE to join their team in Leeds City Centre.

As part of their drive to be the leading Planning Department in the UK and be part of this nationwide specialist practice. They act for a range of plcs and international businesses including commercial developers in the energy, residential, transport, retails, waste and manufacturing sectors as well as some local authorities. This specialist unit handles a broad range of planning work acting in support of other teams within the business, more specifically real estate, projects and transactional. For the main part they have particular expertise in large projects and major commercial and residential schemes advising on strategic planning matters.

As a consequence the successful recruit will be exposed to fantastic quality work sourced regionally and nationally. The emphasis within the UK department is on collaborative working so there is a strong team ethic and willingness to utilise resources and allocate work across all geographical regions.

A new recruit can expect to manage their own matters at an appropriate level for their experience, and also work as part of the team on their larger projects. Ideally the firm is looking for people with upwards of 5 years PQE, and as such those lawyers will already have a decent grounding in planning, infrastructure and environmental work, ideally in a Top 50 firm where they've handle significant projects matters.

This is a hard working team comprised of motivated and ambitious lawyers who get along well together and work hard for each other and the clients - that is the sort of attitude which will fit in here. Candidates need enthusiasm and commitment to their career, and those with the right attitude who are perhaps stepping up to this grade of planning work will definitely be considered on their merits. The firm has good internal resources for training and professional development and so alot of emphasis is put on 'fit' when it comes to this unit as the right candidates will step up to the mark. The firm has a transparent process for achieving promotion on merit and so this is an exciting opportunity for someone wanting to perform and be rewarded.

This is a hard working team which wants to grow and so someone with a receptive psyche and flexible attitude is going to impress and also be rewarded. A great opportunity for a Planning Lawyer who is wanting a challenging career in the north.



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.
