Job description

Overview

Employment Solicitor, 8+ PQE, London/Remote, £Competitive – A unique opportunity has arisen for an experienced Employment Solicitor to join a forward-thinking and modern law firm, offering a flexible and supportive working environment. To apply or register your interest, please contact Gemma on 020 7183 8586. JOB REF: 215301061

The Role

This is an exciting role for a highly skilled Employment Solicitor to join a growing team and handle a broad range of employment law matters, with a particular focus on contentious cases involving discrimination, equality, and tribunal work. You will take a lead role in drafting and responding to tribunal claims, preparing witness statements, managing disclosure, and delivering clear, strategic advice to a wide variety of clients. Advocacy experience is desirable but not essential. This is a role for a proactive and commercially-minded lawyer who enjoys working closely with clients, attending meetings, and supporting business development initiatives.

The Candidate

Applications are welcomed from experienced Solicitors with a minimum of 8 years’ PQE and a proven track record in contentious employment law matters. You will be a confident communicator, comfortable managing your own caseload and working independently in a mostly remote role, while collaborating with colleagues as needed. The ideal candidate will bring exceptional attention to detail, organisational skills, and a strong ability to build relationships with both commercial and individual clients. A strong background gained within a leading regional or London firm is essential, as is the ability to “hit the ground running” and contribute to the continued growth of the team.

The Firm

This is a modern, award-winning practice with a progressive approach to legal services and a reputation for excellence. With a collaborative team culture, a strong emphasis on lawyer wellbeing, and a truly flexible working model, this is an excellent opportunity for a senior lawyer who wants to combine high-quality work with an innovative environment.
