Employment Solicitor (5+ PQE) | £60,000-£80,000 DOE | Hybrid + Benefits & Incentives | SE London/Kent
An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Employment Solicitor with a minimum of 5 years’ PQE looking to take the next step in their career with a forward-thinking, prestigious Legal 500 firm.
With a strong reputation across SE London, Kent and London, this growing firm is seeking an experienced Employment Solicitor to join its highly regarded Employment Department. The team advises on a broad spectrum of employment law issues and is central to the firm’s continued expansion, with clear ambitions for Legal 200 recognition.
This role is ideal for a solicitor with experience handling both respondent and claimant matters and a genuine passion for business development.
Why This Role Stands Out
Strategic Growth Opportunity
This is a key hire as part of the firm’s long-term growth plans. You will play an important role in strengthening the employment law offering and developing new work streams.
High-Quality Work
You will manage a varied caseload of respondent and claimant matters, including corporate support, redundancies, restructures, tribunal claims and day-to-day advisory work. Exposure to both respondent and claimant matters is essential, and confidence across the full spectrum of employment law will be highly valued.
Real Emphasis on Growth
The firm is looking for someone with a clear passion for business development; someone who enjoys networking, building relationships and identifying opportunities. You will have the autonomy to contribute to the department’s strategy and future growth.
Collaborative Culture
Join a collegiate team where excellence in employment law, collaboration and commercial thinking are genuinely recognised and rewarded.
What They Are Looking For
- Qualified Solicitor with a minimum of 5 years’ PQE in employment law
- Strong technical experience handling both respondent and claimant matters
- Ability to manage complex employment matters independently
- A demonstrable passion for business development and client relationship building
- Commercial awareness and excellent client care skills
- Immigration experience would be advantageous but is not essential
Key Responsibilities
- Managing a busy and varied employment law caseload
- Advising on both respondent and claimant matters
- Developing and maintaining client relationships
- Supporting marketing, networking and business development initiatives
- Collaborating with colleagues across the firm to generate cross-referral opportunities
If you are an ambitious Employment Solicitor with strong technical expertise, experience acting for both respondents and claimants, and a desire to play a key role in a growing department, this is an excellent opportunity to join a firm with clear ambitions and a supportive culture.
