A bit about us. This video marks three decades of Ledingham Chalmers and explores our heritage, culture and what happens next, including our ambitious growth plans.
A central part of our approach is our core values, which guide how we work with each other, and our clients.
The role
We're described in the latest Legal 500 rankings as: "professional yet friendly and approachable with a commercial focus."
Now we're looking for a dynamic employment lawyer with the same outlook to join our team, which includes Law Society of Scotland-accredited specialists. The role focuses on contentious work for a wide range of clients.
We'd welcome applications from those looking for flexible or hybrid working arrangements.
The candidate
Our ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate —
Tribunal experience or a strong litigation background
A real interest in employment law
The ability to manage a workload on your own initiative and to work well as part of a team
You'll also, ideally, have been qualified for three or more years, but we'll consider all levels of experience to make sure we attract the right candidate.
Why Ledingham Chalmers?
There are great opportunities at Ledingham Chalmers for personal development, training and progression in a supportive and friendly environment.
A few months ago we announced our latest figures, showing increased profits for the 2020/2021 financial year. At the same time we revealed we'd be investing six-figures over the next 12 months as part of our growth strategy to double revenue to £25million by 2025.
Having the right team in place will, of course, be instrumental to reaching that goal.
As such, and reflecting colleagues' commitment throughout the pandemic as well as our core value to treat others well, we allocated a £150,000 COVID-19 pot which was shared among everyone Ledingham Chalmers employed as at 31 March, 2021: a payment of £1,250 for someone working full-time hours.
Importantly too, the role comes with an attractive remuneration and holiday package as well as other bonuses, subject to qualifying conditions, and an additional day off on top of holiday entitlement for your birthday.
