Flexible Working Consultant Lawyers – Employment (Contentious)
We are working with a very different law firm. They provide their clients with ‘virtual’ legal support and this is delivered exclusively by experienced solicitors. They aim to give highly commercial and technically strong advice and do this at a cost which compares extremely favourably with other, more conventional legal practices. SRA authorised, they have grown strongly over the last 10 years and their client base includes businesses ranging from FTSE 100 household names and multinational manufacturers to proprietor managed companies in sectors as diverse as consumer goods, rail, logistics, manufacturing and high tech.
Their lawyers work mainly from home and are supported by all the technology and resources they need to provide an excellent service. Collegiate in the way they manage their business, they aim to put everyone in a position not only to achieve a great deal of job satisfaction, but also to really enjoy working with them.
Because of their continuing growth, our client is now looking for employment lawyers (solicitors or barristers) who would like to work with a business like theirs and join their existing employment law team acting primarily for employers. In particular, we are looking for individuals with strong contentious employment law experience. We would expect successful candidates to have excellent academic and work credentials and at least 10 years PQE. Equally importantly, you will need to be a good fit with the existing team; so as well as being charismatic and personable, you will also be highly motivated, client focused and will have a demonstrably commercial approach with plenty of initiative.
Our client’s model is based on flexible working, so we are looking for lawyers who would enjoy this type of work/life balance. There is a well-established compensation structure which rewards their lawyers well. No client following is required.
If you would like to know more, please send your CV in confidence to Nick Benson.
We will respond to every applicant.
