Blacks Solicitors, a Leeds-based law firm, is known for high-quality legal services across numerous sectors. Founded in 1989, the firm, with over 200 employees, is committed to integrity, professionalism, and client-focused service. The firm's growth and diversification have allowed it to cater to clients' evolving needs, and its investment in talent and technology ensures top-notch legal support.

In addition to its commitment to clients, Blacks Solicitors also prioritises employee engagement and wellbeing. Through initiatives such as 'January Reboot', which promotes physical and mental health, the firm fosters a supportive work environment. It also encourages personal and professional growth through the 'Learn Something New' initiative, promoting skill sharing among colleagues. Events like 'This Is Me' and 'This Is Us' facilitate open conversations and create stronger connections within the firm, enhancing its unique culture.

Blacks Solicitors also values open communication, with the Managing Partner delivering monthly updates referencing the firm's Vision, Strategy & Values. The firm encourages a hybrid working system, utilising Teams for training and communication. It rewards its team throughout the year, recognising that reward isn't purely financial.

The firm's focus on employee development is evident in its dedicated Learning & Development Manager and various initiatives like the Wednesday Club, Mentoring Scheme, and Share the Knowledge Sessions. The firm also operates a two-tier bi-annual Leadership Development programme, proving its dedication to nurturing its employees. The active Charity Team further demonstrates the firm's commitment to the community, holding regular events to raise funds for the year's nominated charity.
