This opportunity is for an Employment Law Consultant to join a well-established tax advisory practice, taking on its junior employment matters and supporting a roster of top-quality business clients.
This isn't a law firm, and it doesn't work like one: there are no billable or chargeable hours, and you'll work like an in-house lawyer, but across a range of clients. You don't need to be a qualified solicitor. Paralegals, legal executives and lawyers are all welcome, as long as you have solid employment law experience. The role is remote, with the option to be based at the Milton Keynes office if you prefer.
About the Role
You will be:
- Handling junior employment matters for the practice's clients, working like an in-house lawyer across a range of businesses
- Advising on day-to-day employment issues such as contracts, policies, absence, disciplinary and grievance processes, and general HR queries
- Supporting more senior colleagues on larger or more complex matters, and learning from them as you go
- Building relationships with clients and colleagues, becoming a trusted point of contact
- Helping the team work efficiently, freeing up its senior people to take on higher-level work
About You
You will have:
- Around two years' experience in employment law, gained in a law firm, in-house or in a similar setting
- Legal training or qualification as a solicitor, legal executive or paralegal (you do not need to be a qualified solicitor)
- Comfort advising clients directly and working with a degree of independence
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain employment law clearly to non-lawyers
- A happiness to work remotely, with the option to be based in Milton Keynes
What's on Offer
- A competitive salary of £40,000 - £55,000, more depending on experience
- Fully remote working, with the option to be based in Milton Keynes
- Genuine in-house style working across top-quality clients, with no billable hours
- A role open to paralegals, legal executives and lawyers
