Employment Senior Associate

One of our key West End clients is seeking an experienced Senior Associate to join their growing Employment practice in London.

The team has an outstanding reputation for advising both employers and senior executives on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters, while also providing corporate support to a busy M&A practice.

Recognised in the Legal 500 for both employer and senior executive work and with both Partners individually ranked in Chambers, this is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in the next stage of the team’s growth.

You will work on a broad range of high-quality matters, including:

• Advising employer clients on day-to-day employment law issues
• Managing Employment Tribunal claims from inception to conclusion
• Advising senior executives on employment contracts, exits and settlement negotiations
• Supporting corporate transactions through due diligence, warranties and indemnities, and TUPE advice
• Supervising and mentoring junior members of the team
• Developing your own client relationships and helping grow the practice
• Raising the team’s profile through networking, public speaking, seminars and social media
• Supporting business development and marketing initiatives.

Our client is looking for a commercially-minded Employment Lawyer, who enjoys building lasting client relationships and is keen to contribute to a growing practice.

Key requirements:

• Qualified Solicitor status with 6+ years’ PQE in Employment law
• Excellent technical knowledge across contentious and non-contentious employment matters
• Strong communication and client management skills
• High levels of accuracy, organisation and attention to detail
• The confidence to manage matters independently and to take ownership of client relationships
• A developing portable practice (ideally £100k+) and an established referral network
• A clear vision for developing your own practice and contributing to the team’s continued success.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, ambitious and highly regarded team, where you will work on quality matters, enjoy genuine responsibility and have the platform to develop your own practice within a supportive environment.
