Planning Solicitor 0-4 years PQE - Leeds/Manchester (flexible working and open to other office locations too)

This team is very interested in 2023 NQs!

Tell me about the team and firm?

This leading legal 500 recommended firm has an excellent planning operation in Leeds and Manchester and across the UK and is a leading international outfit. The team work on a mix of planning and environment work across both the public and private sector, including large scale infrastructure projects, renewable energy and work for private developers.

Why is there a role?

Due to volume of work this team is looking to grow with a junior to mid level appointment in its burgeoning Leeds office (Manchester also possible), which already has a substantial, close knit team - though they are open to recruiting across their network of offices for the right person. You'll have a broad range of planning experience, ideally including the public sector. You'll be familiar with standard documentation and be able to work both as part of a team and autonomously in a dynamic and stimulating environment.

Why should I consider it?

You will be working for leading individuals in this niche field with access to top quality work, training, development and support. Ideally you'll be happy working in a collegiate team but you will still have the support of a large international firm with a strong team around the country.

This a stable and longstanding team with a number of people who have been in the team for a number of years.

What if I'm interested but I haven't got planning experience?

Attitude and aptitude are key - if you have a real reason and desire to be working in the area of law and strong academics, regardless of experience, then we want to hear from you.

Sounds great, how do I apply?
