Job description

Employment Solicitor – Bath- Hybrid Working

Location: Bath (hybrid working available)

Type of Role: Permanent, Full-time

Salary: £55,000 to £80,000 (dependent on experience)

A well established regional law firm is seeking an Employment Solicitor to join its forward thinking and commercially focused Employment team. The firm combines strong technical expertise with a practical understanding of people, organisations and commercial reality, offering high quality work and genuine opportunities for development.

The Team

The Employment team is intentionally structured to bridge the gap between black letter law and the real world challenges faced by businesses and individuals. Employment solicitors and HR consultants work closely together as one integrated team, supporting clients across contentious and non contentious matters and collaborating with colleagues in Corporate & Commercial.

You’ll work closely with senior colleagues, gaining exposure to the legal, commercial and people dimensions of strategic employment advice. The team prides itself on delivering solutions that work in practice, not just on paper.

The Work

You’ll advise established regional businesses, growth companies, senior executives and directors on a wide range of employment matters, including:

• Contentious and non contentious employment work
• Restructures and TUPE
• Workplace disputes and executive exits
• Business protection issues
• Strategic employment advice
• Direct client contact and early responsibility
• Opportunities to contribute to the team’s future strategic direction
• Involvement in marketing, BD and thought leadership activity

Because the team is lean, you’ll enjoy genuine autonomy, close collaboration and meaningful client relationships from an early stage.

How We Work

The firm offers hybrid working and trusts people to exercise good judgement about where they work best. For this role, there is significant value in spending time in the Bath office, working closely with senior colleagues across Employment and Corporate & Commercial. Office time is viewed as an investment in development rather than a monitored requirement.

There is flexibility to work from home and from the firm’s other offices, with a balanced approach to hybrid working.

About You

This role is suited to an Employment Solicitor who:

• Values clarity, practicality and commercially focused outcomes
• Enjoys understanding how organisations work and how people make decisions
• Is comfortable taking ownership and working collaboratively with colleagues from different professional backgrounds
• Is curious, commercially aware and eager to keep learning
• Enjoys variety and solving real world problems for clients

If you’re looking for high quality work, close collaboration and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, this role offers an excellent platform.
