Description

  • International Firm with arguably one of Leeds' best and most revered finance practices are looking for an Associate from NQ to 3 Years' PQE to join their banking team in their Leeds office, located right in the heart of the city centre. 
  • This Partner is very clear in their view that applicants do not need to already be at a 'big' firm - they are very happy to consider those who have trained at/are currently at 'smaller' firms but with a desire to take a step up.
  • This is a special opportunity to work very closely alongside a highly entrepreneurial Partner who is on a mission to build out the practice and is looking for a junior lawyer who shares this passion for BD, building something special and client exposure from day one. This Partner would be an incredible mentor and the role comes with great prospects for partnership for the future. 
  • Perfect opportunity for a lawyer returning to Leeds from London / overseas or a banking lawyer at a smaller firm who is looking for a big increase in salary and quality of work and clients. Equally, it would be a great opportunity for a banking lawyer already with a leading firm in Leeds but who is looking for a friendlier team. And of course, this role would be a perfect steppingstone for a Leeds banking lawyer looking to eventually get to a US/Magic Circle Firm in London.
  • This Banking team is regarded as one of the friendliest in the Leeds market - it does not lose lawyers to other firms and it's very well stocked at all levels meaning as a junior there will always be plenty of support, supervision and mentorship on hand.
