Senior Associate – Employment Solicitor (Remote)
Salary: £60,000 – £70,000
Location: Birmingham (4 days remote, 1 day office)
Flexible Working: Full-time or part-time considered
A specialist employment law practice is seeking a Senior Associate Employment Solicitor (4+ PQE) to join its expanding team during an exciting period of growth.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a modern, niche employment law firm with a strong reputation for client service and a steadily increasing client base. The team works with both individuals and businesses across the UK, advising on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters.
Due to a significant increase in instructions and continued growth, the firm is now looking to appoint an experienced Employment Solicitor who can manage their own caseload while contributing to the ongoing development of the practice.
The Role
You will handle a varied caseload of employment law matters for both employers and employees, including:
1. Unfair dismissal, discrimination and whistleblowing claims
2. Redundancy and restructuring advice
3. Settlement agreements and negotiated exits
4. Drafting and reviewing employment contracts, policies and handbooks
5. Restrictive covenants and senior executive matters
6. Employment Tribunal matters and dispute resolution
The role offers a high level of autonomy, allowing you to run your own files while collaborating with a supportive and experienced team.
The Firm
This is a well-regarded boutique employment law practice known for its strong client relationships and consistent growth in recent years. The firm has developed a reputation for exceptional client care and has received national recognition for its service standards and client feedback.
The culture is professional yet collaborative, with a real emphasis on quality advice rather than high-volume case handling.
What They’re Looking For
7. Qualified Solicitor (or CILEX) with 4+ years’ PQE in Employment Law
8. Experience advising both employers and employees
9. Strong technical knowledge across contentious and advisory matters
10. Ability to manage your own caseload independently
11. Excellent client care and communication skills
What’s on offer
12. £60,000 – £70,000 salary depending on experience
13. 4 days remote, 1 day in Birmingham
14. Part-time or flexible working options available
15. Genuine opportunity to join a growing and ambitious specialist practice
Why This Role?
Opportunities to join specialist employment law practices in a genuine growth phase are rare. This role offers the chance to take on high-quality work, develop your profile in employment law, and play a key role in the continued expansion of the team.
