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.

They have been established for over 30 years and are recognised as being one of the top 100 firms in the North, being recognised across a wide range of commercial disciplines by the Legal 500 and Chambers guides.
The firms' client base is varied ranging from SMEs to larger national companies that are regional, national and international.
They have a considerable reputation and contacts within the technology sector, and ae keen to speak to people with a particular interest in this.
They not only attend and sponsor events within the sector but also run extremely well attended seminars and recognised awards that they run.
They could recruit either :
A mid-level Solicitor - someone with a strong base of commercial experience and looking for a practice that will offer them the opportunity to immerse themselves in the clients and be happy to get to know the clients and spend time with them.
The firm would work with you to help you develop your client skills both from a technical and a relationship perspective, with a view to you becoming a go to contact for them and over time taking a leadership role with them.

Whatever your level of experience, there is plenty of opportunity.
They handle interesting work and there are a lot of internal opportunities that they are not able to capitalise upon at the moment, put simply they just don't have the manpower to do so.
If you are looking to push your career forward this could be an excellent option.
Whatever your level you will find a collegiate environment, not just within the team but also across the office, you will also find a firm that is experiencing year on year growth, and one that respects and looks after their clients.
It's also a firm that likes to have fun and create a positive and enjoyable working environment.
They offer strong back-office support and infrastructure; in fact, it is akin to much larger firms but within an environment where you contribution will be visible and rewarded.

The work itself is hugely varied, most Employment Lawyers will be happy to hear that there is limited corporate support but other than that the do the full spectrum of both advisory and litigation work.
Given the sectoral specialisation there are all kinds of weird and wonderful issues that arise that would be certain to keep you stimulated.

Are you an experienced Banking Solicitor looking for a chance to develop your career and make a name for yourself in the field? Would you like to contribute to the further growth of an already successful department? If so, this role in Leeds could be the one for you. Our client is a multi-award winning Legal 500 firm with an excellent reputation for the services it provides.
The firm's distinguished Banking team is looking to expand its offering and bring on an experienced Solicitor who can focus on corporate banking matters. The team handles high-quality work on behalf of an impressive client base, however at the minute, the team has a heavy focus towards property work and is ideally looking to further the corporate banking offering, meaning this caseload would have a focus in that area. This role could also be ideal for someone wanting to remove a glass ceiling, someone with a strong base of experience in which they are confident who is looking to push their name forward.
There is significant support available in developing the work, and the existing partners have contacts but simply don't have time to do the work so have held back from that part of the market, however with the right person in place they can reignite these contacts for the benefit of both the team and whoever it is that joins them, making this a fairly unique and really career enhancing role.
Our client envisages the successful Banking Solicitor to be at least 4 years' PQE but it could be someone already p to partner level providing the business case is strong enough, you will need to have experience running either a broad Banking caseload or be more specialised within corporate banking specifically.
This is given purely as a guideline however and if you fall outside of this, you are still encouraged to apply. Having been established for over 20 years, we are experts in legal recruitment.
Our strength derives from the fact that we are well-known, well-respected and have developed long-standing bonds with both our clients and candidates, and have become an authority on all aspects of legal recruitment.
