Job Description

This well-established and highly regarded law firm in the Lake District is looking to expand its growing team in Cumbria and is seeking Solicitors of any PQE level. This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer looking to combine high-quality legal work with a genuine lifestyle change in one of the most attractive locations in the UK.

The successful candidate will be a qualified Solicitor with experience in their chosen practice area, whether that be Private Client, Property (Residential or Commercial), Family, Employment, Commercial Litigation, Corporate, or another discipline. The firm is open-minded on level and would be keen to speak with lawyers from Associate through to Partner level considering a longer-term move to the region.

The firm has built an excellent reputation across Cumbria and the wider North West, acting for a broad client base including business owners, entrepreneurs, agricultural clients, landed estates, high-net-worth individuals, and established local businesses. Lawyers enjoy a strong quality of work, close client relationships, and a level of responsibility that may be difficult to secure in larger city-centre practices.

The role would particularly suit someone currently practising in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, or another major city who is looking for a better work-life balance without compromising on the quality of their work. There is a genuine opportunity to become a key member of the team, develop your own client relationships, and play an active role in the firm's future growth and development.

The Lake District offers an unrivalled lifestyle, with stunning scenery, outdoor pursuits, and excellent local communities, whilst still maintaining strong transport links to the North West and beyond. The firm also offers a flexible and supportive working environment, with hybrid working options where appropriate.

The salary offered is competitive and dependent on experience, alongside a comprehensive benefits package and genuine long-term progression opportunities.

Culture is a major selling point, featuring a friendly, collaborative, and down-to-earth environment where lawyers are valued for their contribution rather than solely their billing figures. Feel free to get in touch with Nick Skelly at QED Legal for a confidential chat and further discussion of this role.
