Criminal Solicitor

Criminal Solicitor | Private Crime | Remote Working

I'm working with a specialist boutique criminal defence practice that is looking to appoint a Solicitor with at least 1-2 years PQE in Criminal Law, and are open to people with a Legal Aid background who are keen to transition into private criminal defence work.

The role offers exposure to a high-quality client base including senior police personnel, company directors, doctors, dentists, King's Counsel and other high-profile professionals, handling complex and often sensitive matters.

Highlights:

• Predominantly remote working


• Office attendance in Leeds or Bradford every 4-5 weeks


• Opportunity to transition from Legal Aid into private crime


• Small, specialist team with direct access to senior lawyers


• 20 days' holiday plus bank holidays


• Standard pension


• Opportunity to build and develop your own client base


• Incentives available for introducing new work


• Financial targets based on approximately 3x salary

This would suit someone looking to build a long-term career in private criminal defence within a highly regarded niche practice.
