Are you a property litigation solicitor looking to handle great quality work?
Are you looking to work within a firm where your progression is on merit, and completely down to you rather than based on structures, numbers and others that may be ‘above' you? Do you want the freedom to express yourself, not to be micromanaged but yet get the support to develop?
If so, read on.
This firm have a strong reputation within the Northern Legal and Business community and are looking for someone to support the partner within their busy property litigation team.
Whilst they need someone with strong technical experience and the ability to take on and run with at least some matters unsupported, they are ideally looking to recruit someone with between 2 and 6 years pqe, or with the equivalent level of experience.
To give you an overview :
The work is for substantial commercial clients, there is a steady flow of quality and varied work which is almost exclusively on commercial matters but isn't just a diet of asset management.
You would get plenty of autonomy, no micromanagement but there is a collegiate approach too.
You will be able to take on responsibility for clients yourself when you are comfortable doing so.
Most of the work is one off pieces of litigation, although the team do undertake 1954 Act work, and there will be some of this, you can be sure that your desk won't be dominated by it.
Clients are diverse, they include both national household brands and more local entrepreneurial clients.
Working with a Property Litigation Partner well-regarded for their work and also as being a very decent person to work with.
Whilst we can never guarantee 9am to 5pm, at this firm it is expected that you'd have a work life balance.
Working alongside a long established and highly regarded commercial property team full of quality individuals.
This role could suit someone :
At a larger firm but now looking to take on more responsibility and operate with more autonomy, or
Someone at a smaller firm, with strong experience but looking for better support and infrastructure and also perhaps a team environment to work within.
If you are interested in finding out more about this newly instructed Property Litigation Solicitor opportunity in Leeds, contact Rachael Mann on 0113 4677111 for a confidential discussion and to find out more about this role.

One of Yorkshire's leading practices is looking to grow its corporate team with the addition of a Corporate Partner / Senior Associate
Unlike many appointments at this level, whilst they are ideally looking for a demonstration of ability to look after clients and develop relationships, this is more important than a following of work on day one.

The work itself is purely corporate and there is a sophisticated support offer for you, whether that be from a highly established commercial team or needing specialist support with complex tax issues.
The firm has a reputation for being extremely friendly and supportive, put simply people enjoy being there and tend to stay a long time.
If you are looking for a career move, where you can have a good degree of autonomy, work in a supportive environment but there is still plenty of scope for progression then get in touch now.

Are you a Private Client Partner or Senior Solicitor looking to lead a department? If so this opportunity within a high-quality commercial law firm in Leeds could suit and offers something a little special.
This well liked, award winning, high performing firm are looking for an established senior Private Client lawyer who is confident in dealing with commercial clients and focusing on high net worth work.
Whilst they are looking for someone with a track record in managing and developing clients, they have a superb client base for you to work with.
They act on a lot of corporate transactions where support from a private client perspective is needed.
As the firm currently don't have a presence within Private Client this is lost opportunity to the practice, and having someone who can take on this work would be an immediate win for them.
As with most recruits at this level, they would of course be interested in someone who can bring work in, with the support of a highly commercial firm that have strong infrastructure.
However, with the corporate support work, and their extensive contacts amongst other professionals including accountants and referrers, everything is set up for success and you wouldn't be needing to create the kind of business case that other firms would probably expect.
The environment that you would find yourself working within is highly collegiate and supportive, the quality of the lawyers is exceptional across the board and the infrastructure and support has been invested in too.
This really is an outstanding opportunity for someone looking to spread their wings, it would particularly suit a high-net-worth private client lawyer who would like to point to something and be able to say ' I created that!'
It's impossible to get across the nature of this opportunity in writing, if you were not even thinking of moving but this has just caught your eye do give me a call, opportunities like this don't come up often !

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.
This role offers great opportunity for someone looking for a clear, and open route to career development.
Supporting the Head of Department, they are keen to recruit someone who has experience of dealing with clients directly, running matters themselves and also ideally either has experience in or an interest in supporting more junior lawyers.

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.
