Employment Senior Associate in Barbican

We are looking for a Senior Associate to join our highly regarded Employment team in Bristol, where we are ranked in the top tier by The Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners and have been for more than 20 years. You would be joining one of the leading and largest Employment teams in the UK, with the opportunity to provide advice on aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment law both nationwide and internationally. Our collegiate and supportive culture makes it a rewarding place to work and you will also have the opportunity to work with colleagues in our international offices with opportunities to progress your career.

The team provides a full service to clients in the UK and internationally across advisory, employment litigation and corporate transaction services. The team also works closely with our Incentives, Business Immigration, Pensions and Health & Safety practices.

The team works closely with our dedicated and industry recognised Osborne Clarke Solutions team to be at the cutting edge of harnessing legal tech and AI. We have extensive experience in international employment law matters, allowing us to represent truly international clients. Our team also has experience of managing cross-border employment projects and our lawyers have the opportunity to take part in our international secondment programme.

The team is also well known for their work on complex issues such as restructuring, restrictive covenant work, reputational risk management and data privacy. We operate across a variety of sectors and are regarded as one of the 'go-to' firms across the financial services, telecoms, technology, recruitment, retail and media & advertising sectors. We work for a fantastic range of leading clients.

The team is truly "full service" and has strength and depth in many areas including: Employment Tribunals; TUPE; industrial relations.

The Bristol team is made up of 4 Partners, 2 Legal Directors, 2 Associate Directors, 2 Senior Associates, 5 Associates, 1 Trainee Solicitor and 1 Solicitor Apprentice. We also have two dedicated and senior knowledge lawyers who support the team.

Due to the technical nature of the practice, we are looking for evidence of experience of working on a range of Employment matters. As a guide, we are looking to appoint a Senior Associate in this area, although we will consider candidates with more or less experience.

Like all our lawyers, you will benefit from our multi-award winning career development programme. At each stage of your career this provides you with:

• clear expectations of your role and what it takes to progress;
• high quality clients and work, with early responsibility and client exposure;
• thorough assessment and individual feedback from a range of experienced colleagues;
• robust technical training with early skills based development, increasingly tailored to you;
• reward for your contribution, progression and potential, rather than PQE or tenure.

At Osborne Clarke we are happy to consider requests to work flexibly. We offer competitive salaries and generous benefits.
