Our client has offices around North Yorkshire and is one of the region's largest and long-established firms. They have a wealth of local knowledge which is one of their key selling points along with their personal and down to earth approach.

In this role, you will be working within a busy but friendly team, handling your own varied caseload including:

2. Landlord and tenant issues
3. Debt recovery
4. Neighbour disputes

There will also be the opportunity to assist the partners and other solicitors in the team with their cases.

The firm is looking for someone with experience in business development, as the role also involves a lot of client contact. They require someone with strong communication and client care skills. You should be able to work autonomously, meet tight deadlines, and exceed targets.

The successful candidate should ideally be at least 3 years' PQE. This level of experience has been given as an approximate guide for applicants, and our client is happy to consider the applications of candidates who fall outside of this level but who have the relevant knowledge/experience, together with the enthusiasm for this particular role.
