Job description

Employment Solicitor | NQ+ | Legal 500 Ranked | Liverpool

A fantastic opportunity for a junior Employment Solicitor to begin their career in the right environment, learning directly from an experienced and highly regarded partner at a growing Legal 500 firm in Liverpool that genuinely puts its people first.

The Firm

A forward thinking and entrepreneurial firm with a strong reputation across the North West legal market, backed by Legal 500 recognition and a genuine commitment to developing the lawyers within it. The firm has attracted partners from leading national and regional practices who have chosen this platform for its collaborative culture, realistic expectations and the freedom to do great work without unnecessary process getting in the way.

The culture is warm, inclusive and genuinely supportive. Partners are hands on, approachable and invested in the development of the people around them, making it an outstanding environment for a junior solicitor to learn, grow and build the foundations of a long and successful career.

Having recruited heavily into employment over the last twelve months, the firm is now entering its next phase of organic growth with real momentum behind it.

The Role

You will work directly alongside an experienced partner and senior members of the employment team, gaining hands on experience across a broad caseload from day one. You will be supported at every step, given exposure to matters well above your call and encouraged to develop at a pace that suits your progression, with the intention that you take ownership of your own matters and client relationships as your judgement develops.

The breadth of work spans tribunal claims including unfair dismissal and discrimination, advising employers on disciplinaries, grievances and performance management, restructuring, redundancy and consultation exercises, drafting contracts, policies and staff handbooks, settlement negotiations and restrictive covenant disputes.

For a junior lawyer who wants variety, real mentorship and the chance to develop across contentious and advisory work, this is an ideal platform.
