An employment lawyer is sought to join a specialist delivery team handling a high-volume caseload of Employment Tribunal claims. The role offers substantial ownership of unfair dismissal and discrimination matters and close, regular contact with a small number of key clients.

This is a non‑traditional private practice role that operates as an extension of client in‑house legal teams, using a tech‑enabled, efficiency‑focused model to deliver high‑quality contentious work. The team values predictability, flexible working patterns and a collegiate approach to resourcing.

Successful candidates will be joining a collaborative Employment practice with strong internal support and structured delivery processes — a chance to do focused tribunal work with meaningful responsibility and client exposure.

  • Qualified solicitor with 5+ years' post‑qualification experience (or equivalent demonstrable experience)
  • Strong general employment law knowledge and solid Employment Tribunal experience (unfair dismissal and discrimination)
  • Excellent drafting, communication and client‑facing skills
  • Proven ability to manage high volumes and meet tight deadlines; strong organisational attention to detail
  • Comfortable working in a tech‑enabled, process‑driven delivery model; experience supervising junior lawyers is an advantage
