A prestigious boutique firm is growing its Employment team in Bristol. This office didn't launch that long ago and is already building real momentum, making this a rare chance to get in early and grow with it rather than join an established machine.
This is a small, genuinely boutique operation rather than a scaled-down version of a national firm. The Bristol Employment team is growing fast and building a solid reputation. You'd be working alongside colleagues who've come from big-firm backgrounds, so you get that quality of training and technical rigour, without the bureaucracy, the billable-hour pressure-cooker, or being one of forty associates fighting for a partner's attention.
Responsibilities
- Running your own caseload of employment matters for a mix of employer and employee clients
- Getting genuine exposure to both contentious work (Tribunal claims, disputes) and non-contentious advisory work
- Working directly alongside experienced, big-firm-trained colleagues, with real access to their time and expertise
- Playing an active part in a growing team, where your input actually shapes how things are done, not just following an established playbook
About You
- You will be a qualified solicitor with 1–4 years' PQE in employment law although applications will be considered from qualified NQs
- Solid grounding in either contentious or non-contentious employment work, ideally some exposure to both
- Keen to build a genuine long-term career within a growing team, not just clock up experience and move on
- Comfortable working in a smaller, close-knit environment where you're visible and accountable, not anonymous
Bovelle is committed to inclusive, values-led recruitment. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and actively encourage candidates from underrepresented groups in law, and would be happy to discuss your application with you. Reasonable adjustments available on request.
