Are you an experienced Employment Solicitor ready to take the next step in your career? Due to continued growth we are looking for a talented and ambitious Fixed Share Partner (FSP) to join our client in Lincoln.

The role is to provide day to day support to the employment team in Lincoln and continue to expand our client base and instructions as part of their exciting growth plans. You need a proven track record in business development and winning new work.

A following would be desirable but is not essential due to increasing instructions across the team based across all offices.

The Employment team predominantly advises a diverse range of businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to household names and PLCs, across multiple sectors (including education, agriculture, food, public authorities, and the third sector) based locally, regionally and nationally. You will also advise senior level individuals on employment issues and provide employment support on transactions with our busy corporate commercial team.

You will have the chance to shape the employment practice in Lincoln, develop new business, and play a strategic role in the departments and firm’s exciting growth and success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and grow the employment offering at the Lincoln office while working within the wider team.
• Manage a technically complex caseload covering the full spectrum of employment law (predominantly Respondent, but also some Claimant work).
• Provide employment law support to our corporate and commercial teams.
• Deliver a technically strong, client-focused, and collaborative service.
• Mentor and support junior team members.
• Work closely with the Head of Department and other partners to ensure an effective and efficient service to all clients.
• Drive business development and contribute to departmental strategy.
• Meet financial targets and maintain good financial hygiene within your caseload and the wider team.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in employment law, with the ability to handle complex cases.
• A track record of business development and the ability to win new work.
• Strong financial awareness, with experience in meeting billing and time-recording targets.
• Excellent client management and communication skills, with a friendly and professional approach.
• The ambition to drive growth, mentor junior colleagues, and contribute to departmental strategy.
• A commitment to delivering high-quality legal services in line with the firm’s values and behaviours.

The company

With a full-service offering and a diverse client base, the firm continues to grow, while maintaining commitment to quality, innovation, and client-focused service.

The largest law firm operating out of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, with six regional locations and a place in the Lawyer UK 200.
