Employment Lawyer

About the Firm:

Our client is a forward-thinking and innovative law firm with a modern approach to legal practice. Based in the vibrant legal hubs of Leeds, Darlington and Newcastle, the firm has a reputation for not only delivering exceptional legal services but also for nurturing talent and rewarding initiative. They are committed to fostering a culture where your hard work and results, not just the number of years under your belt, are recognised and rewarded.

The role:

As an Employment Lawyer with the firm, you will be responsible for managing a diverse and high-quality caseload, advising clients on a broad spectrum of employment law matters. From handling workplace disputes to providing strategic advice on employment contracts, redundancy processes, and compliance, you will be deeply involved in a variety of cases. You’ll work with both employer and employee clients across different industries, allowing you to broaden your experience and expertise.

You will work closely with the firm’s senior management, helping to develop and grow the employment law practice, and if you have the ambition and skills, the chance to lead your own team will be within reach. Business development will be a key aspect of your role, where you will engage with potential clients, build long-lasting relationships, and contribute to the firm's growth. You'll collaborate with colleagues across other departments, delivering a holistic approach to client services.

This role offers the autonomy to truly take control of your career progression. Whether your goal is to move towards partnership or take on leadership responsibilities, the firm provides a platform where your success is measured by your contribution and achievements. You will have the support to establish and grow your own practice, shaping both your future and the future of the firm.

What you can bring:

We’re looking for someone with a strong ambition to take control of their career and an enthusiasm for growing a practice, whether by building client relationships or developing the firm’s employment law offering.

You will need to have a client-centric approach, showing a passion for delivering high-quality service and building relationships that last. Additionally, the firm values someone with commercial awareness, someone who understands the broader business landscape and is excited about the potential to grow their practice area.
