Employment Associate (2+ PQE)
Location: Glasgow
Firm: Tier 3 Ranked Employment Team on a Global Platform
Salary: Market Leading Salary + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
The Role & The Work
This is a standout opportunity to join a Tier 3 ranked Employment team that is quickly building momentum in not only the Scottish market, but globally. This team is driven by a key leadership figure, exceptional client work and a genuinely collaborative culture.
At the centre of this team is a highly regarded Partner, known for their energy, approachability and technical excellence. This is someone who not only delivers at the top of the market but is equally passionate about developing those around them. You won’t just be another Associate here - you’ll be mentored, supported and given the platform to thrive.
From day one, you will work on top-tier, varied and international work, alongside advising on an impressive client base, including major household names and global brands, across a broad spectrum of employment matters. From day-to-day HR advisory and employment tribunal litigation to transactional support, restructuring, outsourcing and global project work, you’ll gain exposure to a depth and variety of work rarely found at this level.
Additionally, you will work closely with colleagues across corporate, restructuring, TMT and real estate, as well as collaborating with international teams on cross-border matters and global HR projects. It’s an environment that gives you a commercial, well-rounded skillset, not just technical experience.
Upon joining the team as an Associate, you will be encouraged to build client relationships, get involved in business development and contribute to thought leadership, helping you establish your profile in the market early in your career.
With strong investment in the team, a growing client base and clear progression pathways, this is an opportunity to join a practice where people genuinely move forward and become highly regarded, not only in the Scottish Employment industry but across the UK and the world.
