Employment Lawyer
Senior Associate to Legal Director Level
Leeds City Centre | Hybrid & Flexible Working
Competitive Salary & Benefits Package
Fantastic opportunity for an experienced Employment solicitor, at Senior Associate to Legal Director level, to step into a thriving Leeds-based team.
Haggerty Jaques is pleased to be working with this highly regarded international law firm to recruit a senior-level Employment Lawyer into its specialist Health Employment team in Leeds.
Why This Role?
This is a rare opportunity to become a number two to the head of the team in Leeds and to further your career within a fascinating sector.
This team works at the forefront of health-related Employment matters affecting both public and private sector clients. The matters the team advises on are often complex and high profile. There is a huge amount of variety on offer in this role across contentious as well as advisory work.
The firm is continuing to go through a significant period of investment and growth and the Employment Health team in particular is seeing real growth and success.
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.
Whilst the role can be performed on a full-time basis, some senior members of the team work part-time, and any lawyers looking to do the same would also be encouraged to apply.

- 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
What’s On Offer?
- A very strong pipeline of high-quality work in a niche and growing sector
- A genuinely supportive and friendly team with a collaborative culture
- Career progression
- A flexible and hybrid working environment
- An excellent and innovative benefits package including generous holiday entitlement and a focus on employee health and wellbeing

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