Employment Associate - 1 to 3 yrs PQE

Some employment roles give you plenty of advisory work but very little else.

This one offers the broader picture.

QED Legal is working with a leading UK law firm that is continuing to grow its employment presence in Edinburgh and is keen to speak with solicitors between one and three years post-qualified.

You will join a highly regarded national employment practice with an excellent client base spanning major businesses, public sector organisations, growing companies, charities and senior individuals. The work is varied, commercially important and often sits at the centre of wider strategic decisions for clients.

The team advises across the full range of employment law, including complex advisory matters, organisational change, senior exits, discrimination, employment status, restrictive covenants, team moves and contentious proceedings before both tribunals and the civil courts.

You will also have the opportunity to become involved in client training, thought leadership and wider relationship development, rather than simply being handed a caseload and left to get on with it.

The Edinburgh office remains in growth mode, but this is not a small satellite operation. You will work closely with colleagues across the wider UK employment team, gaining access to strong supervision, recognised specialists and genuinely high-quality national work.

There is real scope to take on responsibility early, build direct client relationships and develop a long-term career within a team that has both the work and the infrastructure to support progression.
