Location: Greater Manchester (Hybrid Working)
A well-established and highly regarded law firm is seeking a Solicitor with 2+ years' PQE to join its growing Discrimination and Equality Law team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an employment or civil litigation solicitor looking to specialise in a rewarding and developing area of law. The successful candidate will gain exposure to a broad range of discrimination and Equality Act claims, acting for clients across a diverse caseload while developing expertise within a recognised specialist team.
The Opportunity
Joining a successful and expanding team, you will manage a varied caseload of discrimination matters, including claims arising under the Equality Act through both the Employment Tribunal and Civil Courts.
The role offers genuine responsibility from the outset, the opportunity to build strong client relationships, and a high level of autonomy while benefiting from the support of experienced litigators and dedicated support staff.

- Strong case management and advocacy skills
- Excellent client care and communication abilities

- Genuine career progression opportunities
- Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
- Supportive and collaborative team culture
- Comprehensive benefits package including enhanced family-friendly benefits, pension scheme, life assurance, wellbeing initiatives and retail discounts
