This is an exciting opportunity within a highly entrepreneurial firm's Leeds office for a Banking Solicitor to spread their wings, have every support in making their mark and have a clear and open run at Partnership.
This award-winning firm, with an impressive growth trajectory, could recruit someone as junior as 4 or 5 years pqe, who is perhaps in a team which is well structured and not giving them the clear career opportunity that they are looking for.
They wouldn't need you to bring work with you, but would need you to be confident in managing clients and doing the work, both with support.
However they could also recruit up to Partner level depending upon your track record.
They would be looking for someone who has the appetite to build upon the base of work and contacts that they have so this isn't a role for a Banking Solicitor that doesn't like the limelight.
The clients are very much within the middle market, alternative lenders and challenger banks, these clients are increasingly struggling to cope with the rising rates at the larger firms and this firm can offer a great platform for them as although they are not a large national or international you would find yourself surrounded and supported by other high quality, entrepreneurial lawyers who can deliver a wider service to these clients.
In terms of advancement, that really is down to you, there would be nobody standing in your way, however they do have a banking team within another office so there is still plenty of support.
This firm care about their people, you would be well supported, well enumerated and an important part of their vibrant Leeds office.

I am looking for a Regulatory Solicitor or Partner to join one of our high-profile commercial clients in Leeds. This firm have a strong commercial client base and are looking for a Regulatory Solicitor, whether at partner or more junior and looking for a clear carer opportunity, who can further develop their existing regulatory offer.
They are very active within the market, frequently running seminars, training, drafting articles etc as well as hosting client social events.
They would support you in your involvement in these and make sure that you are well embedded in their client base.
Ideally you will also have knowledge of the market and be able to utilise your contact base to assist in the generation of work.
Their core areas of work have been Health and Safety and Environmental law, however this is based in other offices and they are keen to bring someone into Leeds who has strength in either or both of these areas, or even a wider base to complement their client base.
They are open minded though and really happy to consider someone with a different slant to their experience. This is an opportunity for a Regulatory Solicitor with the confidence and experience to work unsupervised and one wanting a real career opportunity and no glass ceiling.
They are happy to recruit at or around Partner level for the right person with the right business case, or speak to a more junior lawyer looking for a role that presents a very clear track to progress.
You would be joining a vibrant group of Solicitors in the Leeds office, an office that is really pushing forward through their drive and enthusiasm which would give you a great platform from which to succeed.
As well as a full benefits package and strong remuneration the firm will be offer very flexible working arrangements, this could mean that whilst the role is in Leeds, those who live further away could consider it on the basis that they will certainly not be commuting daily.

Are you a Commercial Solicitor looking for something different? This role, which offers the best of both worlds between in house and private practice, is a unique opportunity to join a team which is going from strength to strength.
Top quality work, great clients and cutting edge technology, without the pressures of time recording and client billing targets.
Central Leeds office location with home working.
This role is to work directly for companies, very much as an in-house lawyer, but with the support of an award-winning law firm with all of the back-up, training and support that this offers.
The role is to be based within Leeds City Centre, but you would sometimes find yourself working on site for the companies - truly integrated as a trusted legal advisor.
Our client, which is one of the UK's leading law firms, offers an incredibly friendly working environment accompanied by a world leading reputation, backed up by the countless awards that they have won.
This role offers more flexibility and freedom than a typical commercial role would offer, so if you are looking to get away from traditional time recording, work directly with one or two leading corporates but have the luxury of other lawyers around you, this role can offer that highly unusual blend.
You will be working within the firms' 'in-house' team, this team literally takes over either the entire legal work of specific companies, or specific parts of it, taking on work that was previously handled in-house.
The role is essentially to work as in-house lawyer but on behalf of one or two large clients at any point in time, offering the opportunity to work across sectors but focusing largely on commercial contracts and wider business as usual legal work.
Work will include providing high quality legal advice, mitigating commercial and legal risk and really integrating yourself into the client, their sector and their commercial imperatives.
The firm provides a really innovative solution to some of the UK's highest profile companies, giving you the chance to be at the cutting edge of a genuine alternative to companies looking to outsource their legal services in a different way.
You will have the support of a global firm, really allowing you to drive your career forward at the highest level and surrounded by some of the brightest minds.
There's no time recording, no chargeable targets and the option to get involved in business development but no requirement to do so, it's all about doing a great job for the company and getting to know them well.
You will be fully supported by non-legal specialists across a number of sectors including IT and project management to deliver highly innovative solutions.
The firm is really open minded about the level of PQE that it is looking for.
There are 2 roles and one will suit a Lawyer with c.
1-5 years PQE, with the other pitched at a more experienced level or c.
5 years + PQE.
Ideally you will have solid commercial contracts experience gained either in house or in private practice.
Whilst the lion's share of the work is commercial they are happy to consider recruiting either corporate lawyers or even litigators, although you must have worked in a commercial discipline within litigation.
They have recruited from within these disciplines successfully historically and are happy to do so again.
This practice is fully supporting a blend of home and office working going forward and as a consequence if you live further afield but could consider the commute for a couple of days a week don't discount this opportunity.

A well-established national law firm is looking for an Employment Solicitor to join the highly successful team in its Leeds office.
Over the past 10 years, this firm has built a practice based on offering the best advice, which has resulted in repeat business from clients in the private, public and third sectors.
Our client has a great reputation as an employer and as having a really modern approach, whilst they offer access to some incredibly high value and complex work, they are not a firm that expects unreasonable results or particularly long hours so you really could have a great work life balance whilst undertaking outstanding quality work as part of a national team.
The role will be incredibly varied in terms of the work on offer and will include both contentious and non-contentious work.
Clients are focused on the Health sector which gives it a slightly different feel to those where you would work for commercial clients including a political aspect to it that if often shifting.
Whilst some find that frustrating, others love the ever-changing nature of the work that this gives.
This is a senior role, as such you would be expected to be able to run complex matters, assist in managing or lead with client relationships ( depending upon your level of experience) and assist with the supervision and support of more junior lawyers too.
You would be part of a national team and there is huge flexibility around home and office working.
Having recruited extensively for this practice we really can't recommend them highlight enough, they have really high-quality lawyers and work but blend this with a massively flexible and supportive approach which means that their staff retention is really strong, and you'd have a great working environment, in and out of the office.
.
They are a keen to recruit an experienced employment solicitor who ideally has at least 6 years PQE, however you could be much more senior and up to Legal Director level

Are you looking for a new and exciting challenge within Commercial Law? You may already be an established Partner, or someone looking for a new role to make that step towards partnership? If you have a track record of developing work, or perhaps a following of clients and are looking to join a firm that has untapped potential then this could be the role for you. An opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Solicitor or Commercial Partner to join this strong, and ambitious, regional firm in Leeds.

The firm have a strong client base, and at the moment they don't have enough sufficiently experienced Commercial Lawyers in place, to capitalise upon the work.
This is a great opportunity for either an established commercial partner, or someone looking for a clear run into a partner role and with a proven track record of successful client management.
The firm have an established presence across a broad range of sectors, including a particular immersion within the tech sector.
Their clients range from SMEs to larger companies that are regional, national and international and comprise private and public sector businesses.
Whilst there is flexibility as to the work, they have opportunity for someone to capitalise upon their strong client base within the tech sector.
They have a reputation for working with young and growing companies, and retaining those relationships for the long-term meaning that they have a significant spectrum of clients.
Whilst they have an established Partner in Leeds already, there is clear opportunity for another to join as they simply can't keep on top of the work and the opportunities.
There is the backup and support that you would find in larger Leeds firms, but they also give a lot of autonomy and independence that you wouldn't necessarily find within national and international firms, meaning that you would have the opportunity to have an impact and progress at the pace appropriate to your development and experience, there are genuinely no bars to your progression.

The Candidate

Whilst it isn't critical that you have a clear following, to recruit at Partner level, you will need to be experienced in fostering and developing client relationships and a desire to continue with this.
They are happy to consider lawyers at Senior Associate level who are looking for a clear route to progression and want to build their profile with clients with the support of an existing partner.
They would love to recruit someone who is interested in supporting with the further development of the lawyers already within the team.
They work both across offices and across teams so a friendly, collegiate approach would be welcomed from anyone taking on this role. As mentioned, our client is open minded about the exact level that they can recruit at as there is flexibility within the role, however it's likely that you will be a Commercial Lawyer with at least 7 years PQE, however you could already be a Partner elsewhere.
Benefits
A highly competitive salary and benefits package is on offer. A fantastic career opportunity with no glass ceiling and a change to really make a mark on a firm. Hybrid working.
