Employment Lawyer
A new opportunity has arisen in our Employment and Business Immigration team due to growth, for a talented and driven Associate or Senior Associate, with a minimum of 3 years' PQE, to support clients on a wide range of people related matters.
Due to ongoing success and growth, we would also welcome interest from anyone with greater experience who is currently working at a more senior level.
The company
Clarion is one of the best-known names in the Leeds legal space and has been recognised as a Sunday Times Best Company to Work For two years running. We're progressive and forward-thinking, creating an environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive. Proud to be Never Ordinary, we combine high-quality work with a supportive culture that values individuality, ambition and collaboration.
The role
You will be supporting a diverse range of clients ranging from large corporates, well-known regional businesses, fast growing SMEs, through to high-net-worth individuals in a myriad of sectors. Your work will be varied and will include:
* a mix of contentious and non-contentious matters and general advisory work
* your own caseload and client relationships – we pride ourselves on taking the time to get to know each client and you will play a key role in nurturing new and existing relationships
* a range of employment matters supporting our transactional teams including corporate, commercial, and business restructuring and insolvency teams
* supporting senior colleagues on complex matters, whilst also mentoring and supervising Associates and Trainee Solicitors
* assisting with business development initiatives
* designing and delivering in person and virtual training and presentations
What we are looking for
To be successful you will need to be working as an employment law specialist, as part of a busy and highly regarded employment department with a minimum of 3 years' PQE experience. You will need to be able to demonstrate your ability to develop strong internal and external relationships.
We carry out very little Claimant work, and therefore are seeking someone with experience gained mostly representing employers. Experience of industrial relations would be an advantage but is not essential.
To enjoy working at Clarion and thrive in the firm you will need to be motivated, a team player, commercially minded, adaptable to change, calm under pressure and be able to work equally well autonomously and collaboratively.
The role is based in Leeds with the ability to work from home 2 days per week.
