The Firm
Our client is a highly regarded, partner-led commercial law firm based in London’s West End. The firm advises clients across multiple sectors, both in the UK and internationally, providing bespoke, commercially focused legal advice.
Renowned for its approachable and collaborative culture, the firm combines high professional standards with a genuinely supportive working environment. It also champions ESG and B-Corp-aligned values, with a strong commitment to sustainability, inclusion, and social impact.
The Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Employment Solicitor (5+ PQE) to join a thriving and expanding Employment team. This opening has been created due to continued growth and an upcoming partner retirement, offering genuine long-term progression potential.
You’ll advise employer clients on a wide range of complex employment law matters, both contentious and non-contentious, including workplace disputes, TUPE, Employment Tribunal claims, executive exits, and corporate due diligence.
The role involves supervising junior lawyers and trainees, maintaining exceptional client service standards, and contributing to the team’s development and marketing strategy through networking, thought leadership, and client relationship building.
Flexible hybrid working is available, with regular opportunities for collaboration in the firm’s central London office.
Experience
The ideal candidate will have:
* 5+ years’ PQE in employment law, ideally gained within a recognised commercial or full-service firm.
* Experience advising employer clients across the full spectrum of employment matters.
* Strong technical skills in drafting, negotiation, and advocacy.
* Proven ability to mentor and supervise junior lawyers.
* A proactive, commercially aware approach and strong business development instincts.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build lasting client relationships.
* Commitment to ethical practice and alignment with the firm’s collaborative, inclusive values.
