Senior Corporate Solicitor | 8 years + PQE |

Location: Outskirts of Leeds

About the Firm

Our client is a boutique, full-service commercial law firm based in a sought after town on the outskirts of Leeds, serving a Yorkshire-wide and national client base. They offer someone the opportunity to move away from the traditional big law firm environment and they pride themselves on doing things differently.

Specialising in founder-led SMEs with a particular focus on the tech sector, they offer a refreshing alternative to traditional law firm models. There's no partnership structure here – instead, they operate with a founder-led approach that prioritises flexibility, autonomy, and genuinely supportive leadership.

The Role

They are seeking an experienced Senior Corporate Solicitor who can hit the ground running (ideally 8 years PQE).

This is an excellent opportunity for someone perhaps Legal Director level who may be feeling overlooked or undervalued. You'll have the chance to put your own mark on matters, drive work forward with real autonomy, and enjoy the kind of senior-level responsibility that genuinely matches your experience.

What They're Looking For

8+ years PQE as a minimum
Demonstrable experience at senior level with the ability to work independently
Comfortable meeting with and managing client relationships
Ideally with some following, though there's plenty of work in the pipeline
Someone who thrives in a founder-led SME environment, particularly within the tech space

What's On Offer

Salary: negotiable for the right candidate
30 days holiday
Private health insurance
Hybrid/flexible working – escape the city centre grind
Real autonomy and the opportunity to shape your practice
Supportive, well-led team environment

The Location

This role offers an attractive alternative for those looking to move away from the hustle of Leeds city centre while maintaining access to quality work and excellent clients.
