Consistently ranked in the top tiers of Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, and recognised as one of The Times Best Law Firms, we have built an outstanding reputation for delivering exceptional advice to senior executives, directors, partners, professionals and businesses.
We are looking to recruit a talented Employment Solicitor to join our growing team.

Our work includes advising on:

· Restrictive covenants and confidential information
· Share options and incentive arrangements
· TUPE and business transfers

We act predominantly for directors, partners, senior executives and professionals, often on matters involving significant financial and reputational issues. We also advise SMEs and owner-managed businesses on a broad range of employment law matters.
