The firm has an established client base and strong cross-referral opportunities across its corporate, commercial, private client and litigation teams.

There is significant scope to further develop and expand the Employment offering, supported by a firm-wide commitment to strategic growth.

A key element of the appointment will be the development and delivery of a practical growth strategy.

Candidates will therefore be expected to present a business plan outlining how they would contribute to the continued expansion of the Employment practice.

Key Responsibilities Advising employers and employees on a broad range of employment law matters.

Managing complex tribunal litigation, employee relations matters and strategic HR issues.

Supporting corporate transactions, restructures and business change projects.

Building and developing client relationships across the South West and beyond.
