EMPLOYMENT LAWYER
SENIOR ASSOCIATE / JUNIOR PARTNER LEVEL.

Full Time or Part Time (4 days), Liverpool (with hybrid working)

Job description

Are you a driven and ambitious Employment Lawyer looking for a change and an opportunity to join an expanding team with a high-quality caseload and an established reputation?

If so, we are seeking a Senior Lawyer to join our growing Employment and HR team, based primarily in our Liverpool office. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced employment lawyer who is ready to take the next step in their career, with both the autonomy and support to develop both professionally and personally.

If you are forward thinking, proactive and looking for a supportive and successful environment where you can make an impact in the continued growth of the team, then we’d love to hear from you.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Senior Employment Lawyer role

This is a newly created opportunity for a Senior Employment Lawyer to join our growing team. You will work across a broad range of employment law matters including:

Day-to-day advisory work for employers.
Employment Tribunal litigation (for both employers and individuals).
Corporate support on business transactions.
You will also have the opportunity to supervise junior members of the team so previous experience in supervision is desirable, though not essential.

This role offers flexibility and is open to both full-time and part-time applicants. We would be happy to consider a four-day week for the right candidate.

With an established team in place and a variety of good quality work, this is a role with huge potential.

#1

What we’re looking for in an Employment Lawyer

You must be a qualified solicitor (or equivalent, such as FCILEX) ideally with a minimum of 5+ years’ post-qualification experience.
You will have a strong background in employment law and enjoy working across advisory, contentious, and corporate support work.
Experience of supervising or mentoring more junior lawyers would be desirable.
We’re looking for someone with a collaborative approach and the confidence to work independently and take ownership of matters.
A commercial and client-focused mindset is a must.
You will be a strong and transparent communicator who is able to build and manage positive working relationships both internally and externally, leading by example.
A client following is desirable but not essential.

We offer hybrid working, with an expectation of three days in the office (Liverpool) and two from home (on a full-time equivalent basis). While it is desirable that the successful candidate has some established presence or network in the Liverpool market, this is not essential.

We also have offices in Chester and South Manchester, and value regional knowledge and flexibility.

This position presents an opportunity to grow, both as an individual, and with our team.
