Leeds, United Kingdom Irwin Mitchell Full time

We’re a national law firm with a local reach. Our philosophy is ‘Expert Hand, Human Touch’ – something you’ll find in the way we work with our clients and how we support our teams. But we’re more than just a law firm – we’re a team of people working together to help individuals and businesses navigate life’s ups and downs. Working here you’ll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment.

We’ll value you for who you are and what you bring. We support each other and push boundaries to achieve incredible things and make a real difference to our clients and communities.

The work we do has been recognised in the awards we’ve won. We’re committed to being even better, and our awards help to show we’re on the right track.

An opportunity has arisen for a talented Associate to join our Court of Protection team based from our Leeds office at least 2 day's per week, with flexibility around client's needs when and where necessary.

Your Role and What You'll Be Doing

The Court of Protection is the judicial body responsible for making decisions relating to the management of finances and other affairs of those individuals who lack the mental capacity to do so themselves. As one of the UK’s leading firms of solicitors, we have a dedicated and experienced team who specialise in all matters relating to the Court of Protection.

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll join Partner Joanne Fraser, a specialist in Court of Protection matters, often dealing with the family or legal advisors of clients who have lost the mental capacity to manage their property and affairs. Joanne’s clients have often but not always been awarded a substantial personal injury compensation award and she will then assist in the management of those damages in the best interests of the client.

The successful candidate will manage a number of high value and/or complex cases within Court of Protection, whilst also taking on leadership duties for a small team which include coaching, mentoring, goal setting and employee relations, etc. You'll also be expected to lead on client work, proactively undertaking business development activities to support Partners in growing the business and delivering excellent client service.

About You

We're looking for an Associate with a personable nature, who thinks critically, enjoys solving problems, has a passion for Court of Protection matters and wants to lead a small team. Our ideal candidate will have the following:

  • Qualified lawyer either via traditional SRA route or CILEX;
  • The ability to effectively supervise and lead small teams to success;
  • An aptitude for business development and a passion for growing strong client and referrer relationships;
  • The ability to manage complex caseloads whilst maintaining attention to detail and a seamless service for clients;
  • Demonstratable technical experience gained within Court of Protection and an understanding of the litigation process;

If this sounds like you and you want to join a thriving team hit the apply button below for consideration

Our Benefits - What We Can Offer You

  • Generous and flexible pension schemes
  • Volunteering days – Two days of volunteering every year for a cause of your choice (fully paid)
  • Flexible working options - Make work fit around your life, not the other way around
  • Westfield Health membership, offering refunds on medical services alongside our Aviva Digital GP services
  • 25 days holidays as standard plus bank holidays - You can ‘buy’ up to 35hrs of extra holiday too

We also offer a wide range of well-being initiatives to encourage positive mental health both in and out of the workplace and to make sure you’re fully supported to work in a way that best suits you. This includes our Flexible by Choice programme which gives our colleagues more choice over how they wish to work subject to role and client requirements.

We have recently been ranked in the Best Workplaces for Wellbeing for Large Organisations for 2023

Our responsible business programmes are fundamental to who we are and our purpose. We’re committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace where our colleagues can flourish, and we have established a number of inclusion network groups across our business to support this aim.

Our commitment to Social Responsibility, community investment activity and tackling climate change is a fundamental part of who we are. It’s made up of four strands: Our People, Our Community, Our Environment and Our Pro Bono.
