Locum Employment Solicitor (Remote - England-based)

We’re working with a leading employment law firm that advises employees and senior executives across the UK. They’re now looking for a Locum Solicitor to join their growing team, handling pre-tribunal and settlement agreement work. There’s no tribunal advocacy involved - this is all about high-quality advisory work, negotiation, and helping clients reach the best possible outcome.

What You’ll Be Doing:
* Advising employees and senior executives on all aspects of employment law, including unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, and whistleblowing
* Drafting and negotiating settlement agreements and pre-action correspondence
* Assessing the merits of claims and providing clear, practical advice
* Managing your own caseload of claimant work with a professional and empathetic approach
* Liaising with employers, ACAS, and third parties to progress settlements smoothly
What They’re Looking For:
* Qualified Solicitor (England & Wales) with 6+ years’ PQE in employment law
* Strong experience advising employees, particularly on settlement agreements and pre-tribunal matters
* Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills
* Able to work independently and remotely, managing your own workload
* Based in England with flexibility to attend occasional meetings in London
What’s on Offer:
* Fully remote working with complete flexibility on hours
* Minimum 15 hours per week (option to go full-time)
* Competitive hourly or daily rate
* Supportive, specialist team with a strong claimant reputation
