Employment Associate

Executive Summary

We have an exciting opportunity for an Associate to join our Employment team. Our practice combines complex and ground-breaking employment litigation with pragmatic, commercially focused advice. We have a strong track record of running significant appellate cases at every level of the UK courts, including the Supreme Court, and of being involved in cases that have established important new points of employment law. Our clients range from listed companies to international charities, with particular expertise in charities, not-for-profits and businesses with a social purpose.

The role

We are looking for a lawyer who has strong legal skills, a sound commercial approach and who is a natural advocate and strong negotiator.

The role is distinctive in its focus on our charity and not-for-profit clients, alongside a thriving commercial practice that includes a significant number of businesses operating within the impact economy. It offers a rare opportunity to combine high-quality employment work with a genuine sense of purpose, advising organisations whose work has a meaningful social impact.

You will have significant client contact from the outset, developing your own relationships and networks while taking responsibility for the day-to-day management of matters. As your experience grows, you will have the opportunity to take a leading role in client relationships, business development and the wider development of the practice.
