About the team:
Our Employment team includes over 220 qualified lawyers across our global office network. A key differentiator of the practice is that a significant part of our work is stand-alone employment work, not linked to corporate activity. Providing a co-ordinated service across all jurisdictions including board level strategic advice as well as day-to-day HR related support, we have experience of advising a wide range of organizations, from blue-chip FTSE and Fortune 500 companies to start-ups and owner-managed businesses.
Our US Employee Benefits group is ranked in Chambers USA whilst our UK Employment teams have the most areas and individuals ranked in band 1 across both Chambers and Legal 500. In total we have over 40 partners ranked across our international offices in Chambers Global, Europe and Asia-Pacific guides.
The team undertakes contentious and non-contentious works for both national and international clients. Works include mergers & acquisitions, advisory cases, corporate support and advocacy. We also handle over 1,000 Employment Tribunal claims a year.
Role and key responsibilities
We are looking to expand the team and have an opportunity for a lawyer with 4 - 8 PQE who would be interested in being part of a leading team of specialist Employment solicitors within a challenging and rewarding area of law.
The team undertakes contentious and non-contentious works for both national and international clients. Works include Employment Tribunal litigation (including high profile complex discrimination, whistleblowing, contingent workers and equal pay cases), multi-jurisdictional and UK projects (re-organisations, outsourcing, mergers and acquisitions), employee relations advisory cases, industrial relations and corporate support.
The resources of an international firm allow all of our lawyers to produce their best work and use their imagination as well as legal skills to provide a great service to our clients.
Ideally candidates will have international labour and employment experience and the ability to deal with the competing demands of clients which arise from involvement in a number of separate transactions at once. Candidates will also have the ability to work flexibly to tight deadlines as well the ability to demonstrate the delivery of excellent client care, including advising clients on high profile cases.
You will work directly with the Partners and wider team to manage complex Employment Tribunal litigation and non-contentious advice and project work cases across a number of sectors including: health and life sciences, technology, retail, transport, financial services, education and utilities. You will supervise as appropriate more junior members of the team.
