This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a market-leading team that sits within one of the largest employment practices in the UK advising multinational businesses on a variety of board-level, regulatory, contentious and transactional employment matters. The client base is impressive and varied, spanning financial services, media, technology, retail, transport and fmcg - with instructions from some genuinely recognisable international brands.

- Workplace investigations
- Senior exits and outsourcing arrangements
You'll also get exposure to large-scale, multi-jurisdictional projects, working alongside colleagues across the firm's international network - a strong option for anyone keen to build genuinely global experience. Beyond fee-earning work, you'll be expected to build your own client relationships, get involved in business development and contribute to the team's thought leadership and external profile - with genuine support and platform to do so.
What's Needed:
- Solid, demonstrable employment law expertise, ideally gained advising large corporates
- Experience supporting transactional/corporate work from an employment perspective

- Brings strong commercial and financial awareness
- Is a confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills and sound judgement
- Takes ownership of their own career development
Why Consider This Move: This is a firm with genuine scale and reach, giving Solicitors at all levels the platform to develop internationally focused expertise while working with first-rate clients closer to home.
