An excellent opportunity has become available for an Associate Employment Solicitor to join a nationally recognised and forward-thinking law firm at its Leeds office. This role is ideal for a solicitor with a solid grounding in employment law who is looking to take the next step in their career within a collaborative and supportive environment.
The firm advises businesses across a wide range of employment issues and offers exposure to both complex contentious and non-contentious matters. You’ll be part of a respected Employment Law team with a strong national reputation and a clear commitment to career development.
In this role, you will manage your own caseload of employment matters, including claims relating to unfair dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing and TUPE. You’ll also be involved in insurance-funded litigation and advisory work, interacting regularly with clients, courts, counsel and third parties.

Additional experience in insurance-backed litigation and familiarity with systems like Salesforce or similar case management tools would be an advantage.
