Employment Solicitor | 1+ PQE | Farnborough, Hampshire

Here’s what sets this apart: you’ll be working directly alongside Legal 500 ‘Leading Individuals’ Partners who are genuinely at the top of their field, not just well-connected senior lawyers coasting on reputation.

This Top Tier employment team advises UK and international clients on everything from high-stakes Tribunal work to complex TUPE and corporate support. The firm was named in The Times Best Law Firms for Employment, and the quality of supervision and client work reflects that.

If you want to develop serious employment law expertise in a team that’s growing, ambitious, and still invested in developing its people, this is rare.

The Role

You’ll handle a broad and stimulating caseload:

• Draft contracts, policies, agreements and procedures
• Advise on employment issues in M&A, TUPE and corporate transactions
• Manage employment disputes for employers and employees
• Prepare and represent at Tribunal hearings
• Support business development and client relationship building
• Supervise junior team members as you progress

About You

• Employment Solicitor with 1 years PQE, solid experience in an established, recognised employment department – this is essential
• Track record of developing client relationships
• Strong client care skills and commercial awareness
• Ready to take the lead on matters while still learning from top-tier lawyers

On Offer

• Competitive package + generous bonus
• Free parking
• Hybrid working with flexible core hours
• 25 days + Christmas closure
• Enhanced maternity/paternity pay and pension
• The chance to grow within a Legal 500/Chambers-ranked firm with genuine ambition

This is a long-established regional firm with the stability of a mature practice and the energy of one still building for the future.
