The successful candidate will advise on a wide variety of employment law issues, including strategic HR projects, workplace investigations, disciplinary and grievance matters, executive exits, TUPE, restructurings, redundancies, and the employment aspects of corporate transactions. The role also provides significant exposure to high-profile Employment Tribunal litigation and senior-level advisory work.

The ideal candidate will have:
At least 6 years' PQE gained within a respected employment practice.
Strong experience advising employer clients on both contentious and non-contentious matters.
Excellent technical skills and a commercial approach to client service.
Experience managing complex matters independently while collaborating within a large team environment.
A genuine interest in developing client relationships and contributing to business development activities.
In return, the firm offers access to premium-quality work, a genuinely collaborative culture, excellent career progression opportunities, and the support platform of a large international practice. Lawyers are encouraged to take ownership of their careers while benefiting from significant investment in learning, development, and wellbeing.
This opportunity would suit an ambitious employment lawyer seeking high-calibre work, strong partner support, and a clear pathway for continued progression within one of the UK's leading employment teams.
