Our client is looking for experienced Employment Law Consultants to support their consulting team who are short on resource. You will work closely with large, sophisticated corporate clients, adding value not just through technical advice, but also by improving processes and constructively challenging existing ways of working.
You will be delivering high-volume Employment Tribunal work for a small number of major clients.
This is not your typical private practice role. You will work as an extension of client in-house legal teams, handling significant tribunal matters in a more focused, modern and tech-enabled way. It is a chance to do high-quality contentious work with real ownership, close client contact and the backing of an expert team.
Key Responsibilities: – Provide client-facing employment law support to major corporate clients. – Advise on a broad range of contentious & non-contentious employment and tribunal matters, ensuring high-quality, pragmatic, and commercially focused guidance. – Confidence to push back or propose alternative approaches where current client practice is sub‑optimal, using your experience to suggest better/ smarter solutions.
Profile: – Qualified Employment Lawyers with strong UK employment law expertise. – Substantial post-qualification experience advising on contentious and/or non-contentious employment matters (e.g. dismissals, discrimination, TUPE, redundancy, workplace policies, tribunal claims). – Proven client-facing experience – comfortable engaging directly with business stakeholders and senior contacts, building trusted relationships
Full-time is preferred; 4 days a week will be considered.
This role is inside IR35 and you will need your own laptop.
