Employment Solicitor to join award winning Legal 500 firm

We know from experience that so many redundancies as a result of the Covid pandemic will inevitably lead to a big spike in tribunal claims, not just over redundancy pay and failure to consult, but for unfair dismissal, discrimination and other causes of complaint.

The increased flow of instructions to this Legal 500 rated Employment team is such as to demand the appointment of a further assistant solicitor.

The successful candidate will be advising a predominantly corporate client base on a wide range of employment issues, both contentious and non-contentious.

You will be confident in drafting contracts, agreements, policies and procedures as well as providing corporate support and advising on all employment-related issues connected with mergers, acquisitions, contracting out and the effect of TUPE.  

On the contentious side you will advise on the full realm of employment related disputes and problems affecting both employers and employees.

Preparation of Tribunal cases and providing representation at the hearing, where appropriate.

You will be encouraged to take an active role in business development initiatives designed to attract new clients.  These will include participating in presentations internally and externally and active attendance of networking events/relevant industry bodies.  

You will benefit from a highly competitive remuneration package and outstanding benefits package.  The firm has fully embraced flexible working and there is a clear emphasis on the need for a work life balance.  

We are instructed on a number of opportunities in Employment so please do get in touch.  Rest assured your application will be treated in the strictest confidence and that your CV will not be sent anywhere without your express consent.
