Employment Solicitor (2–4 PQE)
Leeds | Hybrid Working | Top-Tier Team


I’m working with a leading, top-tier commercial firm that is looking to appoint a junior Employment Solicitor (2–4 PQE) into its highly regarded Leeds team. This is a standout opportunity to join a genuinely well-run, supportive practice that continues to grow off the back of sustained client demand and wider changes in employment law.

The Role
You’ll be advising a strong and varied respondent client base on a mix of contentious and advisory employment matters. The work is broad, interesting, and commercially focused — spanning everything from day-to-day HR advisory through to complex tribunal litigation.
Clients range from large global corporates (including household-name retailers, telecoms providers, logistics businesses, and major consumer brands) through to insurers and public sector organisations. There’s also real scope to carve out a sector specialism over time if that’s something you’re keen on.

The Team
  • Top-ranked in both major legal directories
  • Large, well-resourced team with a strong spread of seniority
  • Led by a highly respected Head of Department — widely recognised as a leading individual in the employment space
  • Known for combining high-quality work with a genuinely down-to-earth culture
This is not a churn-and-burn environment — staff retention is excellent, and people tend to stay and progress.

Why Consider It?
  • Top-tier quality work without the burnout culture
  • Highly regarded leadership with strong mentoring and visibility
  • Broad sector exposure with the option to specialise
  • Genuinely nice culture — collaborative, supportive, and low ego
  • Excellent hybrid working and real emphasis on work-life balance
  • Clear progression pathway with strong internal development support
About You
  • 2–4 years’ PQE in employment law
  • Experience in respondent work (contentious and/or advisory)
  • Commercially minded and keen to develop within a high-performing team
