Planning Partner

A highly regarded law firm is keen to secure a planning partner in Leeds to complement its existing team.


The team is in growth mode and spread across more than one office location.

They advise on all aspects of planning law for both private and public sector clients on major developments and infrastructure projects.

Work includes major residential and urban projects, regeneration work, judicial review challenges in a planning context, conducting planning appeals, negotiating complex planning and highways agreements to name a few areas.

The team also regularly advises household name residential developer clients as well planning authorities nationally.
The firm is well known for its culture, being one where people work hard, but are not expected to work all hours.

They have a hybrid working policy, although there are plenty of people who enjoy being in the office due to the plentiful social and charity events that take place on a regular basis.


The ideal candidate would be someone already at, or just approaching, partner level who has a track record of developing and generating work, with plenty of contacts and connections in the market and who can demonstrate their ability to develop juniors lawyers within a team.

Someone who has the desire to be an instrumental part in the growth of a national team would be of great interest to this firm.
