Employment Solicitor

£33.6 - £37.5 per hourEstimated

We are seeking to recruit an Employment Solicitor (4+ years' PQE) to join a leading global law firm's highly regarded Employment team in Manchester, at Associate or Senior Associate level.

The Team:

The team is part of a national Employment practice advising commercial clients, including FTSE 100 companies, across the full range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters. Lawyers work closely with colleagues across the firm's international network on cross-border matters, giving the Manchester team a genuinely global reach.

The Role:

You will handle a varied caseload combining day-to-day advisory work with the employment aspects of corporate transactions, business transfers and outsourcings. You will also run tribunal and court litigation, advise on collective matters such as restructurings and TUPE transfers, and support clients through regulatory investigations and compliance projects. Seniority is flexible for the right candidate, with real scope to build your own client relationships.

Key Qualifications:

  • 4+ years' PQE in employment law, gained in a busy employment team
  • Experience of both contentious and non-contentious employment work
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • A proactive, well-organised approach to managing a varied caseload
  • A strong academic record and genuine enthusiasm for the role

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Solicitor to join a market-leading Employment practice in Manchester, with flexible hybrid working, an annual salary review, a generous bonus scheme, private medical insurance and enhanced parental leave.

To apply, please submit your CV detailing your experience and suitability for the role.

For a confidential chat about this or other roles we are handling, please contact Natasha Jones.

Please note that where a level of preferred experience or qualification is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience.

Our consultants will review your application and assess your suitability. We endeavour to respond to all applications within 72 hours, however due to the volume of applications we receive we may not be able to respond to every candidate individually and would advise that if you do not hear from us you should assume you are not successful in your application.
