Join One of the UK's Largest Employment Law Teams | Ipswich | Hybrid Working | High-Profile Employer Clients
Looking for high-quality employment work without sacrificing your work-life balance?
This is an opportunity to join one of the UK's largest and most highly regarded Employment teams, working alongside two experienced Partners in a genuinely supportive and collaborative environment.
The team advises an impressive portfolio of employer clients, ranging from established businesses and charities to national organisations and household names. If you enjoy intellectually stimulating work, want to continue developing your expertise, and value working with approachable, experienced colleagues, this could be the role you've been looking for.
Why This Role StandsOut
Work Alongside Leading Employment Lawyers -You'll be mentored by two highly experienced Employment Partners who are passionate about developing their team. Whether you're looking to deepen your technical knowledge or broaden your commercial skills, you'll have outstanding support around you.
Employer-Focused, High-Quality Work -This is predominantly employer-side employment law, acting for a wide range of clients including major national organisations and high-profile employers. The work is varied, commercially focused and consistently interesting.
Join One of the UK's Largest Employment Teams -You'll be part of a nationally recognised employment practice with a fantastic reputation in the market. While you'll enjoy the close-knit feel of the Ipswich office, you'll also have access to the expertise, knowledge sharing and resources of a much larger specialist team.
A Friendly, Supportive Culture -People genuinely enjoy working here. The team is approachable, collaborative and invested in one another's success. You'll never feel like you're working in isolation, with regular opportunities to discuss cases, share ideas and learn from experienced colleagues.
Flexibility That Works -The firm believes that collaboration matters, particularly when joining a new team. Full-time lawyers typically spend four days in the office initially, reducing to three days once established. Part-time applicants are also warmly encouraged to apply, with four-day working patterns particularly welcomed.
The Role
You will manage a broad range of employment matters, including:
- Advising employer clients on day-to-day HR and employment issues
- Employment Tribunal litigation
- Disciplinary, grievance and capability matters
- Redundancy and restructuring projects
- TUPE and business transfers
- Drafting employment contracts, policies and settlement agreements
- Supporting clients with strategic employment law advice
- Working closely with Partners on more complex and high-value matters
About You
We're keen to hear from Solicitors or Chartered Legal Executives who have:
- Around 3-8 years' PQE in employment law
- Strong experience advising employer clients (preferred)
- Excellent technical skills and commercial awareness
- A genuine enthusiasm for building long-term client relationships
- A collaborative approach and desire to be part of a supportive team
- The ability to travel to the Ipswich office three to four days each week
What You'll Receive
In return, you'll benefit from:
- Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
- Hybrid and flexible working
- High-quality employer-side employment work
- Exposure to nationally recognised, high-profile clients
- Direct mentoring from two experienced Employment Partners
- The support of one of the UK's largest specialist Employment teams
- Excellent training and career development opportunities
- A genuinely friendly, collaborative and down-to-earth culture
- Long-term career progression within a highly respected national practice
