* High level of autonomy paired with supportive leadership and peer collaboration
* A role designed for someone who can take ownership, lead client work, and support business development
* Genuinely flexible, modern culture with no rigid billing targets – the focus is on sustainable, profitable growth
Ideal Candidate Profile
* Qualified Solicitor in England & Wales, with 5+ years’ PQE in employment law
* Strong background in advisory work, ideally with a clear employer-side focus
* Comfortable acting as a senior point of contact for clients and providing strategic guidance
* Confident in managing and mentoring junior team members
* Proven ability – or appetite – to contribute to business development and grow the team’s market presence
What’s on Offer
* Competitive salary with a discretionary bonus tied to both personal and team performance
* A progressive, collegiate culture where senior lawyers are empowered to lead
* Clear pathway to further progression, with leadership and succession opportunities on the table
