A well-managed and optimally structured employment law team is seeking a solicitor at Managing Associate, Senior Associate or Legal Director level to join their sizeable Leeds office.
This is a practice that has deliberately built for quality — excellent clients, a team-oriented culture, and leadership that is genuinely likeable, collegiate and accessible. The work is primarily contentious employment, with a strong volume of good quality advisory and transaction support instructions alongside. The department has real scale locally, which means you will be well-supported and operating as part of a functioning, established team rather than as a hire into a gap.
The role is well-suited to someone ready to make the step from Managing Associate to Legal Director, or to an ambitious Legal Director who wants to practise in an environment where there is a clear pathway and genuine support towards partnership. Amicus has placed candidates with this firm and the feedback has been consistently positive.
The Role:
- Employment law practice across a broad and high-quality client base
- Primarily contentious work — tribunal, complex advisory, and significant matters
- Strong mix of transaction support and strategic advisory instructions
- Sizeable, well-structured local team with accessible and supportive leadership
- Clear progression pathway — this firm supports its people towards partnership
What We’re Looking For:
- 5–8 PQE+ in employment law
- Managing Associate, Senior Associate or Legal Director level
- Strong contentious background with advisory experience alongside
- Someone looking for a firm that invests in its people and has a defined progression structure
