Job Description

The Environment, Health and Safety team is publicly recognised as a top tier, market leading practice which helps many of the world\'s leading organisations through difficult times. Whether responding to a crisis as it emerges, dealing with regulators on site or representing duty holders in Coroner\'s Courts, Magistrates\' Courts, Crown Courts and the Court of Appeal, we have it covered. Over the last decade we have developed a number of compliance products, deep diving system integrity issues and building robust EHS management systems for clients around the world. We conduct due diligence for our clients when they buy and sell companies, offer advice on product safety, and, increasingly help clients in the ESG space. The work is fast paced, interesting and with a real human dimension. We love what we do and that shows in the team dynamic.

The EHS team is part of the same business group as our Inquiries and Investigations team so there will be cross-over opportunities to work on cases of national significance.

We are seeking a talented and motivated individual to join the team as a senior lawyer. We can train you on the law, but we can\'t train attitude. The successful applicants will therefore be hungry to learn (additional qualifications will be supported), can\'t wait to build strong client relationships and are determined to succeed. The right applicant will have the desire to grow into the team and develop their career with us over the medium and long term.

Location can be reasonably flexible for the right candidate, to be based out of one of our offices in either Leeds, Manchester or Newcastle although travel is a fundamental part of the role. A driving license is an advantage.
