We're looking for an employment lawyer with 6+ years’ PQE to join our UK client’s in-house team reporting to the Group Head of Legal. This client is a leader in international financial services, and recognised as a great place to work, and a company that's supportive of your long-term career development.
If you've worked in the UK and also had experience in another European jurisdiction, that could be a real asset. This role is ideally based in Southampton, but remote working and hybrid arrangements will be considered. Part time applicants can also be considered.
You can expect a busy and stimulating workload as the trusted advisor to the HR team and 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
- Work across international locations with local counsel
- Manage employment dispute resolution and tribunals through to completion, liaising with external lawyers
- Take on project work, draft employment contracts, draft or amend policies and procedures
- Work with lots of autonomy, but also collegiately with members of the benefits team, HR team or broader legal team
You’ll be a qualified solicitor or barrister, and ideally have a combination of law firm experience and some in-house experience, with a core specialisation in employment law. You’ll be pragmatic, commercially savvy, an excellent communicator, and you’ll embrace being a critical part of an international business.
You’ll benefit from hybrid working, being part of a thriving and stable business offering flexibility, competitive pay and market leading benefits.
Note that this client will undertake background checks at formal offer stage. We handle all applications in the strictest confidence. We will contact you if you make our shortlist. Due to time constraints, unfortunately we cannot respond to every application. Note our client cannot consider applicants without a current valid right to work in the UK.
