Job description

Our client is a leading UK and International law firm which is looking to expand its Employment team in Aberdeen ideally between 2 - 5 years PQE.

The team regularly deals with cutting-edge claims, projects, and corporate transactions for a variety of blue-chip corporates and financial institutions across the UK and internationally. Matters include advising clients on cross-border information and consultations, benefit redesign exercises, and global mobility. The team also regularly provides support to clients in relation to executive level employment law issues such as senior level recruitment and termination and executive compensation arrangements. The team's unique approach has led to them developing long-term relationships and partnerships with clients, many of whom are household name companies.

The successful candidate will have experience in a commercial practice, having built up technical and market knowledge and with specific experience of dealing with strategic employment law advice, complex employment tribunal claims, cross-border issues, restructuring and redundancy, complex grievances at a senior level including discrimination and whistleblowing complaints, and senior executive/boardroom issues.

The role may also involve high value and High Court litigation so experience in this area will be an advantage. In addition, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to help our clients deliver solutions within the M&A and outsourcing space, so an appetite for this type of work would be beneficial.
