The team is known for its practical, accessible advice and tailored service, offering a collaborative, down-to-earth culture with plenty of scope for progression.

About you:

• Strong track record advising and representing clients in employment tribunals
• Excellent communication, analytical and organisational skills
• Able to work independently and as part of a team
• Commercial awareness and ability to deliver pragmatic, client-focused advice
