Job description

Our client is a well-established, Regional Law Firm set to expand in Liverpool. To complement the Employment Team in wider regional locations, it is looking to appoint an experienced Employment Lawyer to lead in Liverpool and is also recruiting associate solicitors to drive growth.

The pre-existing Employment Team is retained largely by employers. Offering a full service, the department manages Employment Tribunal Proceedings, High Court Litigation and Injunctions as well as non-contentious support to clients. Recent instructions have surrounded whistleblowing and post termination restraints. It is regularly instructed on issues such as performance management and negotiating settlements and exits. The team also provides support to corporate colleagues on transactions and restructuring.

Applications at associate level are also welcome to support this expansion. At a senior level, whilst a following would be desirable, we would also be delighted to speak with local specialists who enjoy business development and would relish an opportunity such as this.
