A growing national Employment team is seeking a Senior or Managing Associate to join its ranks, with the role open across several UK offices. This is an opportunity to step into a senior position within a team recognised as a national leader in the legal directories and to work alongside practitioners individually ranked as leading individuals in their field.

You will also draft employment contracts, consultancy agreements, staff handbooks and settlement agreements, deliver client training, and collaborate closely with partners and the wider national team.
