We're looking for a qualified solicitor around 6+ years’ PQE gained within a well recognised national or regional practice, to join our UK client’s in-house legal team as an employment lawyer. You'll work autonomously alongside Senior Legal Counsel on a broad range of employment related legal issues in a thriving and dynamic company.
You can expect a busy and stimulating workload as the trusted advisor to the business. No two days will be the same, and for example, you'll:
- Advise on current and forthcoming employment related legislation and best practice, mitigating legal risk
- Manage employment dispute resolution and tribunals through to completion, liaising with external lawyers
- Draft contracts, templates and advise the business on HR issues
- Take on relevant project work
- Draft employment contracts, draft or amend policies and procedures, etc.
- Be able to work with lots of autonomy, but also collegiately with members of the benefits team, HR team or broader legal team
- If you've worked in the UK and also had some experience working in another European jurisdiction, that could be a real asset but certainly isn't essential.
This client is recognised as a great place to work, also being supportive of your long-term career development. This role is ideally based in the Southampton area, with hybrid working available. Part time applicants can also be considered.
To be considered:
- You’ll be a qualified solicitor or barrister, and either come straight form a law firm, or you'll have a combination of law firm and in-house experience
- You'll possess a core specialisation in employment law.
- You’ll be pragmatic, commercially savvy, an excellent communicator, and you’ll embrace being a critical part of a successful international business.
If successful, you’ll benefit from hybrid working, being part of a thriving and stable business offering flexibility, competitive pay and market leading package benefits.

Note that this client will undertake standard background checks at formal offer stage.
We handle all applications in the strictest confidence. We will contact you if you make our shortlist. Due to time constraints, unfortunately we cannot respond to every application. Note our client cannot consider applicants without a current valid right to work in the UK.
