Employment Associate – Leeds

Leeds City Centre | Legal 500 Firm | Competitive Salary + Benefits

Are you an Employment Solicitor looking for the opportunity to play a visible role within a highly regarded team, whilst avoiding being just another number in a large national department?

I'm working with a well-established Legal 500 ranked law firm that is continuing to strengthen its presence across Yorkshire and the North West. Due to ongoing growth, the firm is looking to recruit an Employment Associate between 1-5 years' PQE to join its friendly and collaborative Leeds office.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected employment team that has built a strong reputation advising organisations within the education, charity, public sector and wider not-for-profit sectors.

The Role

You will advise predominantly employer clients on a broad mix of contentious and non-contentious employment matters, including:

• Employment Tribunal claims, including discrimination matters
• Whistleblowing and employee relations issues
• Contentious employee exits
• Settlement agreements
• Drafting and reviewing employment contracts
• Employer policies and procedures
• Employee benefits advice
• Day-to-day HR and employment law support for clients

The work is primarily respondent-focused and offers exposure to a varied and interesting client base across a number of specialist sectors.

About You

Applications are welcomed from qualified Employment Solicitors with experience handling both contentious and non-contentious employment matters.

You may be looking for:

• Greater visibility and responsibility within a team
• A genuine route for progression and career development
• The opportunity to help shape and grow a Leeds-based practice
• High-quality work without the hierarchy often found in larger teams

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Legal 500 recognised firm
• Strong and growing employment practice
• Friendly, supportive and collaborative team culture
• Excellent quality respondent employment work
• Sector specialisms in education, charities, public sector and not-for-profit organisations

• Competitive salary and benefits package
