Employment Solicitor (Associate - Senior Associate) About the Opportunity

A highly regarded specialist employment law practice is seeking an Employment Solicitor to join its established team. The firm prioritises client outcomes, quality advice, and collaborative working over traditional billing targets.

The firm has built an excellent reputation for delivering commercially focused, pragmatic advice to a loyal client base of businesses, HR professionals, and senior decision‑makers across the UK.

This is an opportunity to work on high‑quality, complex matters comparable to those typically handled by larger national firms, while benefiting from a supportive, close‑knit team culture.

Why Join?

• No billing or financial targets
• Focus on quality of advice and client outcomes rather than fee generation
• Specialist employment law practice
• Supportive, collaborative and highly experienced team
• High‑quality and intellectually challenging work
• Direct client contact and responsibility from an early stage
• Strong emphasis on teamwork, knowledge sharing and professional development
• Established client relationships and manageable caseloads rather than volume‑driven work
• Convenient office location with excellent transport links and parking

You will advise a diverse range of employers and organisations on the full spectrum of employment law matters, providing commercially focused and practical legal advice.

Work Will Include

• Day‑to‑day employment and HR advisory matters
• Industrial relations issues
• Disciplinary and grievance matters
• Complex discrimination claims
• Whistleblowing matters
• Restrictive covenants and post‑termination restrictions
• Employment Tribunal litigation
• High Court employment disputes
• Strategic employment law projects and risk management

Applications are welcomed from Associate to Senior Associate level solicitors who can demonstrate:

• Strong employment law experience
• Excellent technical legal knowledge
• Commercial awareness and pragmatic problem‑solving skills
• Outstanding client care and relationship management abilities
• Strong communication and drafting skills
• A collaborative and team‑oriented approach
• A genuine passion for employment law and specialist practice

While post‑qualification experience is welcomed, attitude, capability and long‑term potential are considered equally important.

Benefits

• Competitive salary package
• Private medical insurance
• Life assurance
• Annual bonus opportunity
• High‑quality specialist work
• Supportive and collaborative working environment
• Excellent career development opportunities
• Strong work‑life balance culture
• Ongoing professional development and training

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious employment solicitor seeking a specialist role where success is measured by the quality of advice delivered and the value provided to clients, rather than billing targets.

THE ROLE & TEAM

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Employment Solicitor to join our specialist Recruitment & Workforce Solutions offering within the wider Employment, Pensions & Immigration team. You’ll work with employers and recruiters of all sizes on a broad range of employment and recruitment-law matters, including complex status issues, IR35 and the legal/regulatory challenges that arise from using and supplying temporary workers, contractors and sophisticated labour supply chains.

• Support clients on day-to-day employment matters (disciplinary, grievance, redundancy, restructuring) and strategic advisory work.

• Advise on employment status, IR35 and issues arising from the engagement of self-employed consultants/contractors
• Manage Employment Tribunal litigation and help resolve disputes through ACAS, mediation and negotiation.
• Advise and manage sector regulatory investigations on behalf of clients.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across litigation, corporate and commercial to deliver integrated client projects.

• Ideally Senior Associate level, with flexibility to consider strong candidates slightly below that level where there’s the right baseline experience.
• A strong grounding in general employment law and the ability to operate commercially with clients.
• Any prior exposure to the recruitment/workforce solutions space (e.g., IR35, contractor status, consultancy agreements, atypical worker issues) is highly advantageous, but we will also consider candidates who are keen to be trained into this niche.
• Confident communicator, collaborative team-player, inquisitive and flexible in approach (qualities specifically called out for team fit).

• Competitive Salary
• Flexible approach to working hours
• Hybrid working (2 days on site)
• Discretionary bonus opportunities
• Pension scheme
• Life Insurance & Income Protection Insurance
• 25 days Annual Leave plus flex bank holidays (increasing with service)
• Option to buy 10 additional days annual leave each year
• 2 My Days (in addition to your holiday entitlement)
• Additional discretionary annual leave days
• Enhanced Maternity, Paternity & Adoption Leave
• Career Development Opportunities
• Wellbeing and Mental Health Benefit (24/7 Employment Assistance Program & Support)
