Employment Lawyer
Central London
Salary dependent on skills and experience
Where being a lawyer, helps protect the nation.
At MI6, the threats we face are ever-evolving. We operate globally, keeping the UK safe. So in this unpredictable world, we need the country’s finest legal minds. People who want a career with a real purpose, that challenges them every day.
In this small, specialist team you’ll work with like-minded individuals, providing expert advice across public sector employment, PI and commercial legal matters. The focus may be on employment law but you’ll also deal with a variety of corporate issues, and readily respond to any other emerging situations.
It’s about confident independent working, while also being a team player with strong communication skills. Proactive and conscientious, you’ll handle complex queries with ease and authority. Plus, with a credibility that inspires trust and support from your colleagues, your decision-making will be both informed and collaborative.
To join us, you’ll be degree-qualified with sound PQE experience from a leading city, national or regional law firm or a barrister from a respected set of chambers. Employment law experience is essential, while having a background in handling other common law matters would be an advantage. Above all, you’ll enjoy applying your skills and expertise for one, single reason: protecting the nation.

Company
We are SIS – the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service - also known as MI6.
Our people work secretly around the world to make the UK safer and more prosperous. For over 100 years SIS has ensured the UK and our allies keep one step ahead of our adversaries. We are creative and determined - using cutting-edge technology and espionage.
We have three core aims: stopping terrorism, disrupting the activity of hostile states, and giving the UK a cyber advantage.
We work closely with MI5, GCHQ, HM Armed Forces, law enforcement and a range of other international partners. Everything we do is tasked and authorised by senior government ministers and overseen by Parliament and independent judges. People who work for MI6 come from all walks of life, with different skills, interests and backgrounds.
MI6 is an organisation where integrity, courage and respect are central to what we do. We encourage and admire difference. Many MI6 staff are based overseas while others work from our headquarters in Vauxhall, London. Although our work is secret, everything we do is legal and is underpinned by the values that define the UK.
