Senior Employment Lawyer (Legal Director or Partner) - Leeds

Senior Employment Lawyer

Senior Associate to Partner Level

Leeds City Centre | Hybrid & Flexible Working

Competitive Salary & Benefits Package

Haggerty Jaques is working with a highly regarded international law firm to recruit a senior-level Employment Lawyer into its specialist Health Employment team in Leeds. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced employment solicitor, at Senior Associate to Partner level, to step into a thriving team.

Why This Role?

The firm is going through a significant period of investment and growth, making it an exciting time to join.

You’ll be working with a team that has a very strong reputation in the healthcare sector, advising on complex and high profile employment matters.

This role does not require previous healthcare sector experience – although it would naturally be useful. It could therefore be the perfect role for an employment lawyer who would like to work in a specialist and continually growing field.

The Work

This role offers exposure to cutting-edge employment law matters within the healthcare industry, covering both public and private sector clients. You’ll work with:

  • NHS Trusts and primary care providers, including GP practices
  • Private healthcare providers such as fertility clinics and MedTech companies
  • Health sector organisations dealing with evolving regulatory and employment challenges

The work is varied, often breaking new legal ground, and provides a fantastic opportunity for professional development.

What’s On Offer?

  • A strong pipeline of high-quality work in a niche and growing sector
  • A supportive and friendly team with a collaborative culture
  • Genuine career progression, with opportunities to move up to Partnership
  • A flexible and hybrid working environment
  • A competitive benefits package, with a focus on employee wellbeing
  • Beautifully appointed offices to work from

Who Should Apply?

We’d love to hear from senior employment lawyers who have ideally had exposure to both complex advisory and contentious matters. A lawyer who enjoys mentoring and supervising more junior members of the team would also be of real interest.

At Haggerty Jaques, we encourage applications from lawyers at all PQE levels who feel they have the relevant skills and experience. If this sounds like a role for you, we’d love to hear from you.
