• Settlement agreements and negotiated exits.
• Discrimination, whistleblowing and unfair dismissal claims.
• TUPE and business transfer matters.
• Advising employers on day-to-day HR and employment issues.
• Supporting business clients with strategic employment law advice and risk management.

About You

• Qualified Solicitor with 3+ years' PQE in Employment Law.
• Able to manage your own caseload confidently with minimal supervision.
• Strong technical knowledge across both contentious and non-contentious Employment Law.
• Excellent communication and client relationship management skills.
• Commercially aware with the ability to provide practical, solution-focused advice.
• A proactive team player with a genuine passion for delivering outstanding client service.
• Business development experience or an interest in networking would be advantageous.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary from £50,000+, depending on experience.
• High-quality and varied Employment Law work.
• Supportive, collaborative and friendly working environment.
• Genuine opportunities for career progression and professional development.
• The opportunity to play a key role in the continued growth and success of the Employment department.
