Job description

Are you an Employment Solicitor with at least two years’ PQE, looking for something a little different from the typical private practice role in the Leeds area?

If so, this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

QED Legal’s client is seeking to expand its highly regarded employment team by adding an experienced Solicitor (2-6 years PQE) to meet growing client demand. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a thriving business that offers high-quality work in a supportive and progressive environment.

The successful candidate will have solid experience handling the full range of employment law matters. The caseload will predominantly focus on contentious and respondent work, including tribunal cases, though there will also be some involvement with non-contentious advisory tasks. Tribunal experience is highly desirable.

You’ll advise on a variety of issues such as unfair dismissal, discrimination, TUPE, whistleblowing, and general HR/employment support.

This business continues to go from strength to strength, having received numerous industry awards in recent years. They are known for exceptional training and development as well as a genuine commitment to staff wellbeing and career progression.

Having placed candidates with this client over many years, we can personally vouch for their positive working culture, excellent staff retention, and supportive environment.
