Employment & Litigation Solicitor Growing Regional Hybrid/ Flexi-working North Yorkshire 4+ PQE DOE £50,000 - £70,000 Good respondent work, a varied disputes practice and a firm that's investing in its future. Are you an experienced Employment Solicitor who enjoys the technical side of employment law but still wants a bit of variety in their working week? QED Legal's client is looking to strengthen its Dispute Resolution team with an Associate or Senior Solicitor who can take ownership of a predominantly respondent-side employment caseload, while retaining involvement in wider civil and commercial litigation. The employment work is varied and firmly business-facing. You'll advise employers on everything from unfair and constructive dismissal, discrimination and disciplinary matters through to redundancies, TUPE, restrictive covenants and settlement agreements. There is also work involving senior executives, team moves, whistleblowing and the wider contractual issues that arise in the workplace. This isn't just about picking up the phone when a dispute lands. There's plenty of scope for preventative advice, helping businesses get things right before problems escalate, negotiating settlements and defending claims through to tribunal where necessary. Alongside employment, you'll have exposure to commercial contract disputes, debt recovery and boundary disputes. Employment will be the mainstay, but the wider litigation work gives the role a breadth that should appeal to someone who enjoys contentious practice. The firm wants someone with at least 4 years' PQE who is confident in their employment law knowledge, comfortable dealing directly with clients and capable of running their own matters. You'll also have the opportunity to support junior colleagues, contribute to the team's development and build relationships with clients and professional contacts. This is an established practice with ambitions for the future. They're looking to build on what they already have, strengthen their offering and bring good people into the business as they continue to develop. Employee satisfaction is genuinely strong, and that's reflected in the way the firm approaches working life. They operate a flexi system, giving people greater control over their working time and annual leave, rather than expecting everyone to fit around a rigid routine. It's a practical benefit, and one that makes a difference. There's a good team environment, an opportunity to make your mark and the backing of a firm that is looking to the future rather than simply maintaining the status quo. North Yorkshire Employment & Litigation 4+ PQE £50,000+ You might be an Associate or Senior Solicitor who's reasonably settled but starting to wonder whether there's a better fit elsewhere. Perhaps you want a strong respondent-side practice, more variety, or simply a firm where the working environment is as important as the work itself. Whatever your reason for considering a move, it's worth having a conversation. I'll give you an honest picture of the opportunity, the team and what the firm is looking to achieve.

Regulatory & Public Law Solicitor Varied Workload Progression Opportunities York 1-5 PQE £45,000 - £65,000 A move into specialist regulatory and public law work, advising organisations on decisions, investigations and challenges where the legal and commercial implications really matter. QED Legal's client is looking to appoint a capable Solicitor or Associate to its Regulatory & Public Law team in York. This is a specialist area of practice involving complex advisory and contentious work for local authorities, public bodies, education providers and organisations operating in regulated environments. You'll be advising on matters where a detailed understanding of the law needs to be matched by sound judgement, an appreciation of the client's wider responsibilities and the ability to provide clear, defensible advice. The work is varied, but includes: Public law challenges, judicial review and the lawfulness of organisational decision-making. Governance, constitutional arrangements and the exercise of public functions. Regulatory investigations, professional conduct, standards and disciplinary matters. Data protection, information rights and wider compliance issues. Education law, including SEND-related challenges and disputes. Advising on policies, procedures and governance frameworks, as well as delivering training to clients. This is not a role for someone looking to make an entry-level move into regulatory work. The team needs a solicitor with a strong legal grounding, the ability to analyse difficult issues and the confidence to take responsibility for their advice and work with clients. Direct experience in regulatory and public law would be an obvious advantage, but the firm is also interested in candidates with substantial, relevant experience in areas such as commercial or civil litigation, employment, education, investigations or governance. In-house solicitors working within local government or another regulated organisation may also have a particularly relevant perspective to bring. You'll be joining an established specialist team with experience of working across the public sector and other highly regulated environments. There is scope to deepen your expertise, work alongside experienced practitioners and develop relationships with a varied client base. You'll also be expected to contribute to the team's wider profile and development. The right candidate will be technically strong, commercially aware and comfortable dealing with complex issues that don't always have straightforward answers. Excellent written and verbal communication, careful analysis and the ability to build credibility with clients are essential. York Regulatory & Public Law Solicitor / Associate Solicitor If you have the experience and judgement to handle demanding advisory and contentious work, but are interested in applying those skills within a more specialist practice, I'd be keen to speak with you. A move from a related discipline could make sense, provided you can demonstrate the technical ability this role requires. For a confidential discussion and to learn more about the firm behind the opportunity, please contact Eoghan at QED Legal Recruitment Ltd.

Qualifying into litigation does not mean you need to know exactly what sort of litigator you want to be for the next thirty years. Probably just as well. There is some interesting recruitment activity in Glasgow at the moment for newly qualified solicitors who enjoy contentious work but want a bit of breadth before disappearing down one particular rabbit hole. Professional negligence. Property damage. Product liability. Construction disputes. Insurance coverage. Quite a useful collection of things to be exposed to at the beginning of your career. Because at NQ, I think the priority should be becoming a really good lawyer. Learning how to analyse a difficult set of facts. How to build an argument. How to deal with experts. How to manage clients when the answer is not particularly straightforward. And how to develop the judgement that eventually matters considerably more than simply knowing which form needs lodged next. This sort of role gives you the chance to do exactly that. It would particularly suit somebody who enjoyed their litigation seats during traineeship but does not necessarily want to qualify into a completely general disputes practice. You can start developing a specialism while still seeing enough variety to work out where your strengths really lie. Perhaps professional negligence grabs you. Perhaps construction disputes do. Perhaps you discover an inexplicable enthusiasm for insurance coverage arguments that your friends will never fully understand. All perfectly possible. The important thing is getting the right exposure early. I'm keen to speak with trainees approaching qualification and newly qualified solicitors in Glasgow who have strong contentious experience and want to develop within a specialist litigation environment. You do not need to have done every element of the work already. At this stage, good training, intellectual curiosity and the ability to get stuck into complicated problems matter an awful lot. If you're approaching qualification and would like a sensible conversation about the Glasgow litigation market, contact Neil Campbell at QED Legal. I'll talk you through the options I'm seeing, where your experience could fit and which routes might actually give you the best start to your career.
