Boutique employment law practice in Leeds looking for a quality employment lawyer (2+PQE).
– - (, , )
:
My client is a boutique employment law practice in Leeds. They are seeking a talented Employment Lawyer to join their growing team and will welcome applications from junior, mid-level, and senior lawyers with strong respondent-side experience (or experienced claimant-side lawyers who are looking to make the switch to respondent work) who are looking for a role that combines high-quality work, excellent partner support, and a genuinely development-focused culture.
You’ll work on a broad range of respondent employment matters, including advisory work, HR support, tribunal litigation, and strategic workforce issues. Applicants for this role need the skills and mentality for building strong client relationships (both old and new). As a boutique employment law practice, there is a big emphasis on winning new business so any candidates with a track record of doing so, or with an interest in business development will be favourably considered.
My client does not impose targets like many typical private practice teams and this would be a perfect opportunity for lawyers looking for a firm where the focus is more on the individual themselves as opposed to the numbers. With an 4 , my client will equip the successful candidate with the workload, systems and partner support needed.
