Job description

Are you an ambitious Employment Lawyer looking for a role where you can genuinely shape your career? Our client — a dynamic, mid‑sized City law firm with big ambitions — is expanding its Employment team and is looking for a talented solicitor to join them.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a role with real variety, real influence, and real progression.

The Opportunity

You’ll work across a genuinely mixed caseload, advising both employers and senior employees on a blend of contentious and non‑contentious matters.

A major part of the role involves corporate support — including employment due diligence on acquisitions, TUPE advice, and strategic workforce planning for fast‑growing businesses.

If you enjoy combining technical excellence with commercial problem‑solving, you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Advising on Employment Tribunal claims, disputes, grievances, and negotiated exits
• Drafting contracts, policies, and day‑to‑day HR advisory work
• Supporting on TUPE, reorganisations, and workforce change projects
• Building strong client relationships with entrepreneurial and high‑growth businesses
• Contributing to business development and the growth of the practice

What Makes This Role Different

• Entrepreneurial culture: Your ideas matter — and you’ll have the autonomy to run with them
• Balanced workload: A true mix of employer/employee and contentious/non‑contentious work
• High‑quality corporate support: Regular involvement in acquisitions and strategic projects
• Clear progression: A growing team with space for you to step up
• Modern, collaborative environment: No stuffy hierarchy, just smart people doing great work
• An England and Wales qualified solicitor with solid employment law experience
• Exposure to corporate support work (or a strong desire to develop it)
• Commercially minded, confident, and solutions‑focused
• Someone who enjoys working with entrepreneurial clients
• A team player who wants to grow with the practice

If you’re ready to join a firm where you can build, influence, and grow, we’d love to hear from you.
