Job Details

THE FIRM

A well regarded national law firm with an outstanding Employment and HR team.

THE ROLE

An exciting opportunity for a solicitor to join the Employment and HR team which will require supporting and working alongside the firm's top tier employment solicitors and HR consultants.

As part of a highly focussed team you will have a significant influence on how you want your experience and expertise to develop and you will be strongly encouraged and supported to become involved in business development work, taking an active role in seminars and networking events in addition to drafting insightful guidance and articles.

You will also benefit from the support and resources of the larger national team.

This firm wants to invest in your career, and help you to become a recognised expert in your own right, so you will have plenty of opportunity for one-to-one development and encouragement from the wider team and will ensure that you are involved in a high level of client contact and responsibility.

ABOUT YOU

An ambitious self-starter looking for an opportunity to stretch and build a personal reputation in the South West, you will be an excellent team player capable of working with the firm's solicitors and HR consultants in providing commercial solutions to their clients.

While ideally the firm will expect you to have built some quality employment experience over at least 2PQE, they are interested more in your potential than your length of your experience.

If you have less than this but can show a real talent for employment work and a history of delivering exceptional client service, the firm would still like to hear from you.

What you will have is a mix of contentious (respondent) and non-contentious experience for a range of clients including exposure to senior managers at medium to large corporates.

You will have been involved in a range of tribunal claims at all stages and you will have developed strong drafting skills gained, for example, on policy and handbook drafting and settlement agreements.

Whether acting for Claimants or Respondents you will be able to demonstrate that you are commercially astute with a pragmatic, entirely client focussed approach.

Lipson Lloyd Jones Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. Please note our advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the minimum level of experience required. However we are happy to consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary to fulfill this kind of work.
