Employment Lawyer. Big 4. 9 month assignment. 8++ PQE
We are currently working with one of the Big 4 on their search for an In House Employment Lawyer for a 9 month assignment. The role is to start ASAP. The team operates on a hybrid working pattern with one anchor day per week in the London office. However, there may be instances where more is required.

Interest and experience in advising on a full range of employment advisory, litigation and corporate support matters is important.
