Job description

Are you a Corporate Partner in Leeds looking for something a little bit different? Do you want to be part of an exciting and innovative law firm, renowned for providing high-quality legal services often to household names as well as exciting clients within emerging and fast-paced sectors such as technology, media, and entertainment?

This innovative firm, which is relatively new to Leeds, has brought a completely different approach to the market that is extremely refreshing. They believe that their lawyers thrive when given the support and space to do so; consequently, they don't set high targets. They want you to be the best you can for their clients while also having the time to get involved in wider activities, whether they be training, client development, CSR, etc. Having recruited for them, I can genuinely say that this is the case—not just some lovely theory.

They are ranked tier 1 in the Legal 500 in other cities for corporate law and are looking to establish a corporate team in Leeds, with the ambition to become full-service within key sectors. They are open to how this could look; however, the ideal would be an individual or team. You wouldn't need to bring work with you, but you would need to be happy to get actively involved in business development, both within the internal market (as they have existing clients that you would be supported in developing relationships with) and the external market. You would need to have an interest in the tech, media, and entertainment sectors. There will also be genuine scope to leverage work from the firm's other offices right away to create a soft landing.

This role could suit someone within one of the larger teams who is looking for a route to progress, and one where they can help shape the team locally while having the backup and support of a firm that prides itself on being a great place to be and genuinely supporting people's career development. While you may already be a Corporate Partner, you may also be at Legal Director level but looking to take that next step.
