I am instructed with an excellent opportunity at a leading international legal business for an experienced Employment Solicitor in Leeds with at least 3 years of post-qualification experience. My client is based in the heart of Leeds City Centre and, having recently moved into an impressive new office they are on an upward trajectory as far as financial growth and reputation is concerned.

This role will involve working very closely with a very experienced employment partner who has recently joined the business and who advises on a full spectrum on contentious and non-contentious employment issues for clients operating across a number of sectors including financial, hospitality and consumer/retail. Candidates interested in applying for this position can expect to undertake a full-service "360" role that will provide unlimited opportunities for further advancement and development, as well as the opportunity to work with other departments such as Corporate and Real Estate on employment issues that may arise out of acquisitions and post-merger integrations.

My client is also recognised as being a leading advisor on matters relating to IR35 and employment status classification, and any candidates with experience and a particular interest in this particular topic of employment law would be of great interest to my client.

Only candidates who are qualified to practice within the England & Wales jurisdiction will be considered for this position and it is essential that candidates be able to demonstrate some post-qualification experience in an employment team as this position is not suitable for newly qualified solicitors. With a competitive salary which can be further discussed based on particularly relevant experience, this is a role that will provide the successful candidate with the platform to further advance their career as an employment lawyer and position themselves as a leading individual in this sector.

My client is a growing boutique commercial practice based in the centre of Leeds who are looking to acquire an experienced commercial litigation solicitor with anywhere between 1-4 years of post-qualification experience.

This opportunity can provide the successful candidate with an excellent platform for becoming a leading expert in the commercial litigation sector. With a unique way of working which is not replicated in any other established firm in the region, this role will for the successful candidate alleviate a lot of the typical barriers that are associated with private practice work whilst receiving the remuneration and benefits which are directly comparable with national legal practices.

The level of success achieved by my client over recent years has been unparalleled and future growth forecasts show that they are rapidly the go-to for commercially orientated legal advice. Applicants can expect to be directly involved in building client relationships and working on high-value disputes across a number of different sectors as well as being involved in occasional other jurisdictional matters.

My client is very keen to speak with candidates who have trained and qualified within large national practices and who are looking for a culture less reliant on target-driven work and more about the development of lawyers and continuing to build a practice which is attracting a lot of interest from clients across various sectors as well as recognised award / benchmark providers across the country.
