Job Details

Are you looking for the next step in your career as an Employment Lawyer? Would you like to join a team who are ranked as top tier in both Chambers and Legal 500? Burges Salmon are recruiting within our employment practice and we would be delighted to hear from you.

Team

As well as technical expertise, our people are enthusiastic and willing to get stuck in to a wide range of work. Your task list will be varied (never dull!) so the ability to stay calm under pressure really will be an essential attribute. Your colleagues will always be on hand to support you; our genuine open door policy and collaborative working environment thrive in this unit.

We are really proud of what we do, and how we do it but don’t just take our word for it. The directories speak for themselves.

Chambers describes the team as being "staffed with excellent lawyers who offer extremely commercial advice in a very user-friendly manner". Legal500 are equally complimentary, describing the team as "displaying consummate knowledge and pragmatism, combining an overall excellent level of service with strength in depth."

Work

Our work is exciting; there is no doubt about that. From high profile cases, to international work, our enviable client base (John Lewis, Thomson Reuters, Babcock International Group, Bank of Ireland, FirstGroup, Ofgem, University of Bristol and Reiss to name but a few) keeps our lawyers engaged, excited and proud of the work we do . We operate in a wide variety of sectors which will mean plenty of opportunity to work with colleagues across the firm,

As well as advising on all aspects of employment law, we also offer a wide range of value added services, of particular note is our impressive training offering. If you are keen to engage with clients and work together to solve their business issues, this role is for you.

Get in touch!

We know that making a move can be daunting, so if you just want to have a chat about the opportunity and take some time to have a think before submitting an application (on a no name basis if you prefer), please get in touch.

Our resourcing team can provide firm insight and an overview of the department to make sure this is right for you. Victoria Lewton (0117 307 6942) will be very happy to speak to you - or feel free to email if you would prefer victoria.lewton@burges-salmon.com.
