An award-winning Employment law firm ‘with a difference’ is looking for a Remote Employment Solicitor with at least 3 yrs pqe, to handle a caseload of employment tribunal matters. In addition to managing a caseload of tribunals, if you are looking for more diversity, you will have every opportunity to get involved in their extensive programme of client training. This is a fully homeworking opportunity and whilst you will be working for an exclusively commercial client base, the firm will absolutely consider applicants looking to make the switch from claimant employment work. This role would suit a Solicitor with strong employment tribunal experience – either claimant or respondent, however as they work on a national basis Advocacy experience is not a prerequisite, they always instruct Counsel to undertake hearings.
Whilst this is a remote role, you will very much be part of a team and get to work closely with the other lawyers, some of whom undertake the day to day advisory work for the clients that you will be working for. This business was established working on a fully remote basis, rather than been one that has adapted to a changing demand from employees, consequently their systems, processes and even culture are designed to optimise this and there is an extremely connected and team spirit across the business.
Within this role there is extreme flexibility. Whilst there will need to be availability to liaise with clients, and team members, during typical working hours, there is scope for some shifting of hours so that they could be done outside of typical business hours which increases flexibility sifgnificantly.
Our client is part of a larger organisation within the Employee Relations space, they are committed to driving the much-needed revolution of an otherwise static market. They act as an extension of their customers’ HR teams and provide integrated support services built around people, processes and technology, this means they now support over 200 organisations (1,000-10,000 employees typical size). These businesses choose our client not just due to their rounded and innovative proposition in a relatively staid market, but also because of how they treat their people. Some of the most experienced employment lawyers in the UK have turned their backs on the city centre rat race, to join a close-knit team, delivering first-rate legal support collaboratively – but remotely – from locations throughout the country. Given the majority of our client’s work is retained, billing pressures are significantly reduced, freeing up the lawyer’s time to truly foster client relationships and focus on excellent service delivery, as you progress their tribunal claims. This role, which has arisen due to client demand and volume of instructions, is specifically to handle clients' tribunal matters with options in future to pick up some of the wider advisory work, should you wish to. And as mentioned before, you would be very welcome to get involved in the delivery of their training programme if this was also of interest to you. So, with no billing or sales targets to hit, this is a role which breaks away from the long hours typically demanded by a traditional busy practice. Our client is looking for a technologically savvy individual, embracing of change, with solid defendant employment tribunal experience, or those with claimant experience who are looking to make the switch. In return our client will provide: Flexible working as standard - Team meetings and professional development days to bring the team together to collaborate in person – and also enjoy social time out. However, this role offers utmost flexibility in terms of location. Room to breathe - Our client recognises the varied advantages associated with a balanced work/home life, plus a break away from the rigour and structure of the traditional law firm. Support will be available to you where needed of course.

Are you looking for a new and exciting challenge or perhaps looking for a new role to make that step towards partnership? If you have a track record of developing work, or perhaps a following of clients and are looking to join a firm that has untapped potential then this could be the role for you. An opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Solicitor or Commercial Partner in a strong regional firm in Leeds. Our client is based in Leeds City Centre and have an excellent reputation as being an 'employer of choice', they also have a fabulous record of growth and significant positive momentum. They have been established for over 30 years and one of the top 100 firms in the North, being recognised across a wide range of commercial disciplines by the Legal 500 and Chambers guides. The Role The firms' client base is varied ranging from SMEs to larger national companies that are regional, national and international and comprise private and public sector businesses. Whilst there is flexibility as to the work, they have opportunity for someone to capitalise upon their strong client base within the tech sector. They have a reputation for working with young and growing companies, and retaining those relationships for the long-term meaning that they have a significant spectrum of clients.
Whilst they have an established Partner in Leeds already, there is clear opportunity for another to join as they simply can’t keep on top of the work and the opportunities.
There is the backup and support that you would find in larger Leeds firms, but the feel of being within a slightly smaller firm as well as the opportunity to have an impact and progress at the pace appropriate to your development and experience, there are genuinely no bars to your progression. There is a friendly office environment, and you will be surrounded by well experienced lawyers across all disciplines, offering you the quality of support you'd find at larger national firms. They are genuinely looking for someone who can make a difference and there is clear equity partnership opportunity, with realistic expectations of what needs to be achieved to receive this.
The Candidate
First and foremost, you will need to have strong commercial expertise, and be able to demonstrate a commercial approach to client work.
Whilst it isn’t critical that you have a clear following, to recruit at Partner level, they will need a proven track record of fostering and developing client relationships and a desire to continue with this.
They are happy to consider lawyers at Senior Associate level who are looking for a clear route to progression and want to look to build their profile with clients with the support of an existing partner.
They would love to recruit someone who is interested in supporting with the further development of the lawyers already within the team.
They work both across offices and across teams so a friendly, collegiate approach would be welcomed from anyone taking on this role. As mentioned, our client is open minded about the exact level that they can recruit at as there is flexibility within the role, however it's likely that you will be a Commercial Lawyer with at least 7 years PQE, however you could already be a Partner elsewhere.
Benefits A fantastic career opportunity with no glass ceiling and a change to really make a mark on a firm. A highly competitive salary and benefits package is on offer.
How To Apply If you would like to apply for this role then contact Rachael Mann or another member of the Private Practice Team.

Alternatively, if you know of anyone who would be suitable for this role then please let them or us know as we offer a reward for successful referrals.

An unmissable opportunity for an experienced Property Litigation Solicitor to join a highly recognisable, national law firm in Yorkshire.
Our client boasts extensive national reach with a network of offices spanning the country. Their impressive client base covers both the public and private sector and the work that they attract is of the highest quality and includes some really unusual disputes. The firm aim to work collaboratively across their multi-location offices to offer their clients an all-inclusive legal service and that is no different for the property litigation team.
In this property litigation role, you will work closely with the top-rated real estate disputes team, many of whom have worked at leading London and national firms, to provide a high-quality legal service to first class clients.
You will have the opportunity to run a run range of complex and interesting property related disputes, and your responsibility level will depend upon your experience. They are happy to recruit from 2 years’ experience upwards, but you must already have property litigation experience. Whilst they can accommodate new junior team members they are also considering more senior hire, in fact up to Partner level. Your role will be shaped to suit, so at the more junior level you could find yourself running smaller matters yourself whilst working alongside others on the more complex and high value matters, this is a brilliant way to learn and develop. If you are already at or approaching Partner level there would be a heavier emphasis on client management and development, however they would still have plenty of quality work to offer on day one as well as looking to you to help with the supervision and development of more junior colleagues.
The team strive to offer their clients the highest quality of service and to adapt to the evolving legal environment, looking to give commercial and practice solutions rather than just technical ones. They do all of this whilst maintaining the collegiate, but stretching, environment that they all really value. Whilst the team works nationally and offer a blend of home and office working, if you are a junior lawyer there is plenty of support and development on offer and you will be encouraged to go into the office a few days a week to make the most of this. The other thing to note, is that whilst this role offers access to complex and challenging work it is not with one of the traditional big 6 in Leeds and the working environment is rather different, there is still of course the need to bill but there isn’t as much focus on this as you will find at some of the other firms, with the focus being more on the team’s achievements collectively.

An award-winning Employment firm ‘with a difference’ are looking for a Remote Senior Employment Solicitor keen to join a team driving market change.
In the crowded employment law market, openings for experienced legal professionals are arising on an almost daily basis.
But rarely does an opportunity emerge of this ilk. We are looking for a Remote Senior Employment Solicitor (7+ years’ PQE) to join an award-winning firm committed to putting Employee Relations (ER) on the strategic agenda. Not to mention one which has offered flexible and home working as standard, long before the pandemic!
This Remote Senior Employment Solicitor role would suit a talented solicitor with entrepreneurial spirit, an innovative mindset and a genuine commitment to leveraging change – not just within their customer's organisations, but the world of ER on the whole.
The company – Employment Law | Online ER Support | ER Technology Solutions
Our client, part of a larger organisation within the Employee Relations space, are committed to driving the much-needed revolution of an otherwise static market. They act as an extension of their customers’ HR teams and provide integrated support services built around people, processes and technology, this means they now support over 200 organisations (1,000-10,000 employees typical size), largely via a fixed annual subscription pricing model.
These businesses – chose our client not just due to their rounded and innovative proposition in a relatively staid market, but also because of how they treat their people. Some of the most experienced employment lawyers in the UK have turned their backs on the city centre rat race, to join a close-knit team, delivering first-rate advice collaboratively – but remotely – from locations throughout the country.
Pursuing a continued growth trajectory which shows no sign of slowing, the firm has an impressive customer roster, and an eye-catching pipeline, rich with modern HR teams seeking to achieve more from their ER strategy.
The opportunity
Given approximately 70% of our client’s work is retained, billing pressures are significantly reduced, freeing up the lawyer’s time to truly foster strategic relationships and bring the power of ER to life without the shackles of a stopwatch or restrictive fees that often prevent HR customers from seeking support.
So, with no billing or sales targets to hit, this is a role which breaks away from the long hours typically demanded by a traditional busy practice. Instead the focus is on forming deep customer relationships that enable the provision of highly commercial, business-focused advice.
While the work is naturally challenging and complex, this position provides more balance and the ability to focus on delivery whilst also being able to genuinely log off and have a work life balance largely unattainable within other organisations.
This opportunity is ripe for an individual who:
Is excited by the client’s proposition – not least its technology focus (unable to find a ready-made, fit-for-purpose ER case management tool, for example, the client built their own!)
Buys into this business model and the potential to affect further change in a more consultancy-style organisation
Is eager to deliver complex, senior-level legal advice to an increasingly advancing base of ‘A-list’ customers, without the constraints of traditional billing models
Wants to join an already premier legal team to advance customer standards and their own career progression
Seeks a truly flexible role with home working offered as standard with no need to undertake Business Development
The package
Our client is looking for a technologically savvy individual, embracing of change and passionate about ‘what could be’ in the world of employee relations. In handling a respondent employment caseload covering the full spectrum of work, the successful candidate will naturally see things from customers’ perspectives and have intuitive CRM skills that will only serve to bolster an already impressive customer retention rate.
In return our client will provide:
Flexible working as standard
Team meetings and professional development days in Leeds and London bring the team together to collaborate in person – and also enjoy social time out. However, aside from any requirements to meet customers face-to-face, this role offers utmost flexibility in terms of location.
Room to breathe
Our client recognises the varied advantages associated with a balanced work/home life, plus a break away from the rigour and structure of the traditional law firm.
A competitive remuneration package
