Job description

Farleys has entered an exciting new chapter. Following our recent partnership with Lawfront, we're growing our successful Employment team and looking for a talented 2-4 years' PQE Employment Solicitor to join us - working across our Lancashire offices (you'll have a home base, but travel across offices is required).

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys a genuinely varied caseload and wants to be part of a forward-thinking firm during a period of real expansion.

The Role

You’ll work across both employer and employee matters, handling a broad mix of advisory and contentious employment work. Expect a healthy blend of tribunal cases, day-to-day HR support, contracts and policies, discrimination matters, and business-focused advice.

You’ll have the autonomy to run your own files while being supported by a friendly, collaborative team that values knowledge-sharing and professional development.

A particularly exciting aspect of the role will involve you playing a part further developing our HR Advantage service, which is our retainer service that we offer to employers.

What We’re Looking For

• Ideally 2-4 years' PQE in Employment Law
• Experience acting for both claimants and respondents
• Strong technical ability and a confident approach to client care
• Someone who enjoys working as part of a close-knit team and contributing to a growing department

Why Farleys?

Joining Farleys means becoming part of a firm with deep regional roots and a modern, ambitious outlook. Our integration with Lawfront marks a significant moment of growth, opening up new opportunities, investment, and long-term career progression for our people. We have a unique culture, one that’s built upon a collegiate, shared vision of working together to provide the very best client service we can, whilst ensuring that our people are well looked after and supported in every aspect of their role.

You’ll Benefit From

• High-quality work with a diverse client base
• A firm that genuinely values work-life balance
• A competitive salary and benefits package
• Private Medical Insurance
• A supportive, down-to-earth culture
• Clear development pathways
