At the mid-senior level, employee work is for senior executives, partners and managers and can range from advice on grievance and disciplinary matters, performance management, unfair dismissal, discrimination and whistleblowing issues and claims, assistance with litigation in the Employment Tribunal and High Court including on team moves, and settlement agreements.

Work will include the same matters as well as general day-to-day advice, work on contracts and policies, strategic and management issues, reorganisations and business transfers. We also expect mid-senior level lawyers to be a role model and sounding board for junior lawyers.
We do not operate strict partner teams and so the successful candidate can expect the enriching benefit of working with a range of experienced partners and senior fee earners. We also give plenty of responsibility and autonomy to lawyers once they have demonstrated that they are capable, as well as monthly 1:1s with Team Leaders and regular performance and career progression meetings.
As a smaller and entrepreneurial firm, our lawyers are expected to take a more ’hands-on’ approach to their workload than in larger more process-driven firms, and therefore the successful candidate will be adept at managing their own admin and file management.
