• Supporting the team with knowledge sharing, mentoring junior lawyers, and contributing to wider business development initiatives.

About you

The successful candidate will have:

• A minimum of 5 years' PQE in Employment law, gained at a reputable regional or London firm.
• A strong track record of managing contentious employment cases to a high standard.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build strong client relationships and explain complex legal issues clearly.
• The confidence to work autonomously while also being a team player.
• A commercial outlook, with enthusiasm for contributing to business development and networking opportunities.

What's on offer

• A competitive salary package with scope for progression.
• Flexibility with fully remote working
• The opportunity to work alongside highly ranked and respected lawyers in a supportive team culture.
