  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex caseloads independently

  • High standards of accuracy, compliance, and client service

  • Excellent communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills

  • A proactive, solution-driven approach and a desire to contribute to team success

  • Leadership potential, with an interest in mentoring or developing others

What's on Offer

  • Salary: £45,000+ depending on experience, with a generous bonus scheme

  • Flexible hybrid working – minimum one day in-office (Leeds City Centre or Moortown)

  • Generous holiday allowance including:

    • Christmas office closure

    • Birthday off

    • Incremental holiday increases with service

  • Health care cash plan

  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

  • Paid volunteer day to support a cause of your choice

  • Casual dress code (business attire only when meeting clients)

  • Active Sports & Social and CSR committees

  • Opportunities for progression and professional development

  • A supportive, friendly and open culture with real investment in people and ideas

Why Join?

This firm offers all the benefits of a respected and established practice with the energy and outlook of a modern legal business.
