A growing firm in the centre of Leeds has an opening for an employment lawyer with a keen interest in non-commercial sector work. If you are a qualified employment lawyer (or approaching qualification as an employment lawyer) with a keen interest in representing entities outside the commercial sector (e.g. charities, social enterprises, schools/colleges/universities, estates and families), this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Candidates applying for this role will need to demonstrate previous employment law experience in a recognised private practice team. My client accepts that candidates may not have employment law experience outside the commercial sector, but it will be important for candidates applying to have a keen interest and enthusiasm for working with the type of clients as previously mentioned above. This role will not be suitable for employment lawyers looking to build their career representing clients with a strong commercial presence.

My client's offices are located within a 5-10 minute walk of Leeds train station and hybrid working is available across the firm. Only lawyers who are qualified to practice law in England and Wales (or approaching qualification) will be considered.
