This is a really good opportunity for an experienced employment lawyer who wants proper autonomy without disappearing into a huge team. You’ll be dealing with a mix of contentious and non-contentious employment matters, including tribunal work, discrimination, whistleblowing, unfair dismissal, TUPE, restructures, redundancies, contracts, policies and day-to-day advisory work. There is plenty of direct client contact and, at this level, they want someone comfortable taking ownership of matters and building relationships in their own right. You’ll also work closely with other teams across the firm, particularly Corporate, Commercial and Dispute Resolution, so there is good crossover on transactional and wider business matters. They are ideally looking for someone 5+ PQE with a solid background in employment law and a commercial approach with clients. For someone who wants good quality employment work, direct client access and a team where senior lawyers are trusted to get on with the job, it is well worth a conversation.
