A rare opportunity for a senior Employment Lawyer to join one of the country's most highly regarded Employment teams. Suitable for an ambitious Senior Associate ready to make the step up, or an existing Legal Director seeking a clearer and better defined route to partnership.

The Firm

A Top 40 ranked firm and genuine market leader, holding numerous top tier Legal 500 rankings and most recently named Legal Employer of the Year at a prestigious national ceremony. The firm combines the scale and quality of a major player with a truly people centric culture, and what sets them apart is an exceptional track record of developing talent from within, with a growing number of home grown partners that speaks for itself.

The client base is impressive and expanding, with an increasing number of FTSE 250 businesses on the books. Crucially, the firm operates with a significantly lower billable hours target than its international competitors, making it one of the very few platforms where you can do premier Employment Law work without sacrificing your work life balance.

The Role

As a key member of the Leeds team you will work closely with the wider Legal 500 recognised Employment department and the head of department on high quality, varied matters spanning both contentious and non contentious work. xwzovoh

The team handles a broad range of instructions including TUPE, employment tribunals, discrimination and whistleblowing cases, corporate support and HR advisory work, with genuine flexibility over the type of work you take on.

The firm has a strong and recent track record of promoting at Legal Director and Partner level internally, and are equally keen to hear from Senior Associates ready to make the step up as they are from existing Legal Directors seeking a defined and evidenced pathway to partnership within one of the most respected Employment teams in the country.
