A well-established and expanding law firm based in Yorkshire is currently on a strategic recruitment drive. While the firm does not currently offer employment law services, it is open and enthusiastic about expanding into this area — either through an ambitious individual solicitor with a clear vision, or an existing team seeking a new home.

About the Opportunity:

This is a unique opportunity to establish and lead an Employment Law department within a reputable, multi-office firm.

You’ll benefit from the firm’s strong infrastructure, solid reputation in other areas of law (including Family, Private Client and Property) and a leadership team that is open to innovation and growth.

Full operational and administrative support will be provided to help you focus on fee-earning and business development.

Ideal for someone with the entrepreneurial drive to develop and shape a service line.

Requirements

• A qualified Solicitor with strong experience in Employment Law, ideally with a track record of business development and managing caseloads independently
• Individuals or small teams looking for a new platform to grow and thrive
• Someone excited by the prospect of being a key part of the firm’s expansion into new practice areas

Why Join?

• Join a progressive and collaborative firm that values innovation and a people-first culture
• Flexible, part-time and hybrid working available
