Our client, a highly regarded law firm within the construction sector, are looking for a second in command for their non contentious team in based Leeds, but would also consider a fully remote Construction Solicitor position.

Contract review
Reviewing, drafting, and advising on the suite of contracts and documents including consultant appointments, building contracts etc, and
Due diligence reporting
With such a diverse range of clients they have both repeat users and one-off clients, which means that they need someone adaptable in their approach to clients and able to advise less knowledgeable clients who may be undertaking one off developments, as well as those for whom the construction sector is their working life.
With a huge amount of recommended work and repeat business the firm tend to lead their marketing with an ongoing programme of seminars, webinars etc rather than attending random events.
They'd love you to get involved in the seminars, however if you were keen to do more pro-active business development, they are happy to give you support you in this, whether that be from the partners or their marketing team.
This firm offer something a little different but with a massively competitive package which is inline with the best in Leeds, flexible and hybrid working and a fabulous working environment.
They are happy to go one step further with the flexibility that they can offer and consider someone who is looking to work largely remotely, that said they are very collegiate so it would be very important to ensure that you ultimately feel part of the team so this would mean some visits to Leeds for both professional and social reasons.

An award-winning Employment firm ‘with a difference' are looking for a Remote Senior Employment Solicitor keen to join a team driving market change.
In the crowded employment law market, openings for experienced legal professionals are arising on an almost daily basis.
But rarely does an opportunity emerge of this ilk.
We are looking for a Remote Senior Employment Solicitor (7+ years' PQE) to join an award-winning firm committed to putting Employee Relations (ER) on the strategic agenda.
Not to mention one which has offered flexible and home working as standard, long before the pandemic!
This Remote Senior Employment Solicitor role would suit a talented solicitor with entrepreneurial spirit, an innovative mindset and a genuine commitment to leveraging change - not just within their customer's organisations, but the world of ER on the whole.
The company - Employment Law | Online ER Support | ER Technology Solutions
Our client, part of a larger organisation within the Employee Relations space, are committed to driving the much-needed revolution of an otherwise static market.
They act as an extension of their customers' HR teams and provide integrated support services built around people, processes and technology, this means they now support over 200 organisations (1,000-10,000 employees typical size), largely via a fixed annual subscription pricing model.
These businesses - chose our client not just due to their rounded and innovative proposition in a relatively staid market, but also because of how they treat their people.
Some of the most experienced employment lawyers in the UK have turned their backs on the city centre rat race, to join a close-knit team, delivering first-rate advice collaboratively - but remotely - from locations throughout the country.
Pursuing a continued growth trajectory which shows no sign of slowing, the firm has an impressive customer roster, and an eye-catching pipeline, rich with modern HR teams seeking to achieve more from their ER strategy.
The opportunity
Given approximately 70% of our client's work is retained, billing pressures are significantly reduced, freeing up the lawyer's time to truly foster strategic relationships and bring the power of ER to life without the shackles of a stopwatch or restrictive fees that often prevent HR customers from seeking support.
So, with no billing or sales targets to hit, this is a role which breaks away from the long hours typically demanded by a traditional busy practice.
Instead, the focus is on forming deep customer relationships that enable the provision of highly commercial, business-focused advice.
While the work is naturally challenging and complex, this position provides more balance and the ability to focus on delivery whilst also being able to genuinely log off and have a work life balance largely unattainable within other organisations.
This opportunity is ripe for an individual who:
Is excited by the client's proposition - not least its technology focus (unable to find a ready-made, fit-for-purpose ER case management tool, for example, the client built their own!)
Buys into this business model and the potential to affect further change in a more consultancy-style organisation
Is eager to deliver complex, senior-level legal advice to an increasingly advancing base of ‘A-list' customers, without the constraints of traditional billing models
Wants to join an already premier legal team to advance customer standards and their own career progression
Seeks a truly flexible role with home working offered as standard with no need to undertake Business Development
The package
Our client is looking for a technologically savvy individual, embracing of change and passionate about ‘what could be' in the world of employee relations.
In handling a respondent employment caseload covering the full spectrum of work, the successful candidate will naturally see things from customers' perspectives and have intuitive CRM skills that will only serve to bolster an already impressive customer retention rate.
In return our client will provide:
Flexible working as standard
Team meetings and professional development days in Leeds and London bring the team together to collaborate in person - and also enjoy social time out.
However, aside from any requirements to meet customers face-to-face, this role offers utmost flexibility in terms of location.
Room to breathe
Our client recognises the varied advantages associated with a balanced work/home life, plus a break away from the rigour and structure of the traditional law firm.
A competitive remuneration package

If you are a commercial property solicitor looking for a part time role with flexibility this role could well be for you.
Based in North Yorkshire this firm offer an unusual degree of flexibility, and whilst they would ideally like one anchor day, the offer hybrid and flexible working on a part time basis.
The firm has a flexible approach and work really closely with their clients.
Many of their clients are young entrepreneurial companies and they work with them on a retainer basis which means the firm operate almost as in house counsel, this alters the dynamic with the clients in what most find a very positive way.
Where work isn't covered by the retainer it is run on a fixed fee basis which again is liberating.
They are looking for someone capable of being a stand-alone lawyer and able to support the clients with their day-to-day property needs.
Some are occupiers, some have small property portfolios, there can be refinancings and also some corporate support.
The work shouldn't be beyond that a solid 5 year pqe lawyer can handle and there is some support on offer externally if required on a daily basis and also to cover holiday periods.
The key things that will appeal within this role are:
Great flexibility and part time hours.
Working with a creative team of lawyers within a modern working environment.
Having a slightly different approach to clients care and relationships than others.
A good level of remuneration to acknowledge the fact that this is a stand alone role.
If you'd like to find out more about this unusual opportunity for a Commercial Property Solicitor in Leeds contact Rachael Mann in the Leeds Private Practice team on 0113 467 7111. ....Read more...
