Senior Employment Lawyer - Take the lead in Liverpool

£30.8 - £35.6 per hourEstimated
Full-time
Liverpool

Lead Employment Lawyer – Liverpool | AfterAthena (Napthens Group)

Let's be honest. You didn't become an employment lawyer to spend your days stuck in reactive, last-minute firefighting.

What if you could:

  • Shape strategy, not just fix problems
  • Build something meaningful from the ground up
  • Work with businesses that actually want to do things right

Welcome to AfterAthena.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a standout employment lawyer to take the lead in Liverpool—someone who enjoys autonomy, influence, and the chance to redefine how employment law support is delivered.

This isn't a traditional law firm role.
It's a hybrid of legal expertise, consultancy, and innovation, powered by tech.

Why this is different

At AfterAthena, you'll:

  • Combine l egal expertise with cutting-edge AI tools
  • Provide proactive, strategic advice (not just reacting to crises)
  • Help businesses build healthier, stronger workplaces
  • Work alongside HR, H&S and legal specialists in a truly collaborative team

You'll also leverage our app-based platform—giving clients instant access to insights, templates, updates, and you when it matters most.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading employment law support across the Liverpool market
  • Advising on complex ER matters, tribunals, and strategy
  • Helping clients stay compliant (and ahead of the curve)
  • Shaping policies, processes and best practice
  • Playing a key role in growing AfterAthena in the region

What we are looking for

  • Senior employment lawyer (ideally 6+ PQE, but we'll flex for the right person)
  • Someone commercially minded who enjoys client relationships
  • A natural problem-solver who thrives on variety
  • A builder—someone who wants to create , not just maintain

Why Liverpool?

Because it's a city that backs ambition and so do our people already working in Napthens Liverpool. 
And this is your chance to lead something exciting within it—with the backing of Napthens LLP behind you.

Final thought

You've already proven you can do the job.
Now's your chance to do it differently—with more freedom, more creativity, and more impact.

Let's Talk

For a confidential discussion about this opportunity, please contact Daniel on Show phone number (Text or WhatsApp very welcome)

AfterAthena – Part of the Napthens Group  Where legal expertise meets human connection.
