Bristol, United Kingdom Womble Bond Dickinson Full time

Our talented and experienced employment lawyers specialise in services ranging from employee outsourcing to complex restructuring, providing clients with first class comprehensive legal advice. We offer each client a completely bespoke service, tailoring our legal advice and services to the specific objectives and culture of each organisation. Our substantial experience enables us to spot critical issues quickly and present solutions that help our clients achieve their business objectives.

What we're looking for?

We're looking for a partner with a credible track record in this sector, capable of delivering growth and increasing our national profile. The role will largely manage existing key client relationships and be the “face” of our employment team in Bristol, marketing the team and its expertise in the pursuit of new work. The team offers both contentious and non-contentious advisory support to our impressive FTSE 250 client base.

You'll also be expected to support and drive the wider strategic vision of growth for Womble Bond Dickinson. As well as driving our business forward, you'll have an equally important role to play in the development of our people, coaching and mentoring and taking responsibility for their career development.

What does the ideal candidate look like?

Being a passionate people leader and team developer, the opportunity to take the strategic lead for our Bristol employment team will be attractive and rewarding.

To be successful in this role, you'll need as a minimum:


  • A legal qualification with 8+ years post admission experience.
  • Experience of building and sustaining an employment practice.
  • An in-depth sector/market understanding and the impact of trends on clients.
  • The ability to demonstrate a thorough understanding of revenue prioritisation.
  • An effective coach and sounding board for team members giving a clear sense of direction and purpose.
  • The ability to actively seek out opportunities for innovation and create process improvements.
  • A role model with a commercial mind-set who ensures efficiency.
  • An external profile as a leader in this field.
  • You understand how the provision of legal services should be delivered at a top 20 law firm.

What makes it great to work here?

We continually work hard to create an open culture that sets us apart from other firms. Our culture gives us much more of a human feel, emphasising that we're more than just suits

As signatories to the Mindful Business Charter, it's important to us that our people are able to maintain healthy and happy lives, both in and out of work. We have a number of resources and initiatives designed to support health and wellbeing and we're very happy to talk flexible working, full-time or part-time working patterns.

Through our DEI initiatives we create an environment in which difference is valued. We have a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Group, led by our Board Sponsor, which works with our colleague networks (we currently have firm supported networks for race, ethnicity, and cultural heritage, LGBTQ+, disabilities, families, and women's career development and we're in constant dialogue with our people about how we expand our networks to better support everybody). Find out more about ED&I at WBD here . We encourage applicants from all social backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, gender identities and sexual orientations.

We are committed to ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible to all.
