Working as part of one of the most reputable teams, you will be joining the employment team supporting a diverse client base spanning commercial organisations, healthcare providers, educational institutions and public sector bodies. On offer with this role is a broad mix of Employment Tribunal advocacy, strategic input on complex employment matters as well as advisory work. You will receive a steady flow of high-quality instructions from the established employment team, allowing you to focus on delivering excellent outcomes for clients.

- Strong drafting and analytical skills.
