Step away from the traditional partnership model

Lead and grow a high-quality private client offering

Enjoy flexibility, collaboration, and autonomy without compromise

Are you a Private Client leader ready for something different?

This is a rare opportunity to join a national firm that’s turned its back on old-school legal hierarchy and embraced a fresh, forward-thinking approach. With no internal competition, no politics, and no partnership red tape, this firm puts business-minded lawyers at the heart of its success and rewards them accordingly.

They’re looking for a Private Client Partner (or ambitious Senior Associate/Legal Director) to take ownership of their Leeds presence and drive the next phase of growth. You’ll have the autonomy and backing to build something sustainable, with support from a successful team across Yorkshire and the wider UK.

Who we’re looking for

A Private Client specialist with experience in complex, HNW matters

Someone who is already building their reputation and network in the region

You’ll ideally have a modest following, solid contacts, or at least a clear plan to generate work

You’re comfortable using tech and don’t need a dedicated secretary, you’ll have modern tools and team support instead

You’re commercial, collaborative, and excited by the opportunity to build your own success

The opportunity

Take the lead on developing the firm’s private client presence in Leeds and West Yorkshire

Collaborate with a friendly, successful team already thriving in Leeds

Join a firm where you’ll be treated like an adult, with genuine flexibility around when and how you work

Be part of something bigger, a national team with a local feel, and no partner politics
