We're looking for a qualified solicitor around 6+ years’ PQE gained within a well recognised national or regional practice, to join our UK client’s in-house legal team as an employment lawyer. You’ll work autonomously alongside Senior Legal Counsel on a broad range of employment related legal issues in a thriving and dynamic company.
You can expect a busy and stimulating workload as the trusted advisor to the business. No two days will be the same, and for example, you’ll:
- Advise on current and forthcoming employment related legislation and best practice, mitigating legal risk
- Manage employment dispute resolution and tribunals through to completion, liaising with external lawyers
- Draft contracts, templates and advise the business on HR issues
- Take on relevant project work
- Draft employment contracts, draft or amend policies and procedures, etc.
- Be able to work with lots of autonomy, but also collegiately with members of the benefits team, HR team or broader legal team
- If you’ve worked in the UK and also had some experience working in another European jurisdiction, that could be a real asset but certainly isn’t essential.
This client is recognised as a great place to work, also being supportive of your long-term career development. This role is ideally based in the Southampton area, with hybrid working available. Part time applicants can also be considered.
To be considered:
- You’ll be a qualified solicitor or barrister, and either come straight form a law firm, or you’ll have a combination of law firm and in-house experience
- You’ll possess a core specialisation in employment law.
- You’ll be pragmatic, commercially savvy, an excellent communicator, and you’ll embrace being a critical part of a successful international business.
- If successful, you’ll benefit from hybrid working, being part of a thriving and stable business offering flexibility, competitive pay and market leading package benefits.
