• Manage a diverse caseload with minimal supervision.
• Provide expert legal advice and guidance to clients on a range of employment law matters.
• Draft, review and advise on legal documents, including settlement agreements, contracts, policies, and tribunal pleadings.
• Negotiating on behalf of clients.
· Undertake litigation, including, advocacy, if wanted; if not we have our own advocates and good links with external counsel.
• Develop strong client relationships and contribute to business development initiatives.
· Keeping up to date with new developments in employment legislation.
About You:
• Qualified Solicitor with 5+ years of PQE in employment law. All levels of experience will be considered up to and including Partner level.
• Strong knowledge of employment law, settlement agreements and tribunal procedures
• Excellent communication and especially client management skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Proven track record of managing a busy caseload effectively.
What We Offer:
• Competitive salary and benefits package, including bonuses.
• Opportunities for career development and progression.
• Supportive and collaborative working environment.
• Remote working.
• Regular firm socials.

• Easy to use Practice Management Systems, which sync seamlessly with the latest Microsoft products; Outlook and Word.
