The ideal candidate (England & Wales qualified) will have a proven track record in employment law and employment litigation (including multi-claimant or class-action style litigation), ideally with gig economy or worker status experience, a commercial mindset, and prior in-house exposure, though strong private practice candidates are welcome.
