Job Description
Employment Solicitor | 4+ PQE
Leeds | Tier 1 Employment Team | Outstanding Culture & Progression
Think Legal Recruitment is working with one of the North’s most highly regarded law firms on the growth of its Employment team in Leeds.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a Tier 1 Legal 500 ranked employment practice that combines top-quality work with one of the best cultures in the market.
The firm has built an enviable reputation not only for its legal expertise, but for being a collaborative, people-first business where lawyers are encouraged to develop, progress and enjoy what they do.
The Leeds employment team remains relatively small, giving the successful lawyer the opportunity to make a visible impact, build strong internal relationships and play a meaningful role in the continued growth of the office.
At the same time, you’ll be backed by an established wider Northern employment practice of more than 30 specialist lawyers, meaning excellent support, resources and cross-office collaboration from day one.
The work itself is broad, high quality and genuinely interesting, including:
• Employment Tribunal litigation
• Advisory support on day-to-day HR and employment issues
• Drafting contracts, policies and settlement agreements
• Redundancy, restructuring and TUPE matters
• Corporate support work
• Strategic and commercially focused advisory projects
Clients span a wide range of sectors and the team is known for delivering pragmatic, commercially astute advice while maintaining strong long-term relationships.
The firm is also recognised nationally for its culture and values. It is a certified B Corp, has won multiple awards for innovation, diversity and workplace culture, and is consistently recognised as one of the UK’s best large employers within the legal sector.
Lawyers here often talk about the quality of the people, the approachable leadership team and the absence of unnecessary hierarchy.
The opportunity would suit an Employment Solicitor with around 4 years’ PQE or above who is looking for:
• Better quality work and clients
• A genuinely supportive and collaborative culture
• Real long-term progression opportunities in Leeds
• Flexibility and hybrid working
• The chance to help shape and grow a team rather than feel like a small cog in a large office
On offer is a highly competitive salary and benefits package alongside a modern, flexible approach to working.
