CORPORATE LAWYERS - PARTNER & LEGAL DIRECTOR OPPORTUNITIES

A well-established and respected law firm with offices in Leeds and Bradford is seeking to strengthen their Corporate team with two senior appointments as part of a carefully planned succession strategy.

The Firm

With a thriving Corporate practice and strong foundations across Yorkshire, the firm is looking to the future as senior partners transition towards reduced working patterns over the coming years. This presents genuine opportunities for talented lawyers at different stages of their careers to join an established and supportive team.

The Opportunities

Corporate Partner (Leeds or Bradford)

As part of a managed succession plan, the firm is seeking a Corporate Partner who can take on increasing responsibility within the team. With existing senior partners moving to reduced hours, this role offers the chance to shape the future direction of the department.

The firm is open to candidates at different stages of their partnership journey:
  • Newly appointed partners or those ready to make the step up, with a developing practice (circa £200k+ billings).
  • Established partners with a strong portable following (circa £500k billings).
The successful candidate will be a confident Corporate lawyer with demonstrable expertise across a range of transactions, strong client relationship skills, and a collaborative approach to working within an established team. Flexible office location available between Leeds and Bradford.

Corporate Legal Director (Bradford)

This is a genuine "career Director" position - ideal for a talented lawyer who wants to work at a senior level without the pressure of partnership ownership.

The firm is looking for:
  • An experienced Senior Associate ready to step up to Director level but not yet looking towards partnership
  • OR an established Partner looking to step back from the demands of ownership while continuing to practice at a senior level
  • OR a current Legal Director happy to continue in this capacity long-term
This role would particularly suit someone who values work-life balance, perhaps with young family commitments, or an experienced lawyer looking for a slightly easier life while continuing to handle quality Corporate matters without the administrative burdens of partnership.

What's On Offer
  • Competitive remuneration packages dependent on role and experience
  • The opportunity to work on high-quality Corporate matters
  • Supportive team environment with experienced partners
  • Yorkshire locations with excellent regional connections
  • Genuine career development tailored to individual aspirations
For a confidential discussion about either of these opportunities, please contact Kim Wilkes at Think Legal – kim@thinklegalrecruitment.com
