• Build strong client relationships and contribute to the growth of the employment law offering

About You

• 4 PQE+ qualified Employment Solicitor (England & Wales, Australia or New Zealand considered)
• Confident working autonomously in an advisory‑led role
• Have an interest in being a leader, and driving growth of the employment branch
• Commercial, pragmatic, and client‑focused
• Comfortable working with founders and senior stakeholders
• Interested in contributing to service and business growth

Why Apply?

• Work from anywhere in the UK (remote‑first) – Must be based in the UK with the right to work.
• Optional access to national hubs
