A top-tier law firm is seeking a talented and ambitious Employment Lawyer with 2-6 years' PQE to join its highly regarded Employment team in Canterbury. This is a unique opportunity to work on high-quality employment law matters in a dynamic and supportive environment.

About the Team

The Employment team is ranked as a leader in both The Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners for its outstanding legal services. The team advises both employers and employees across all contentious and non-contentious matters.

Led by a widely respected partner recognised as a leader in the field, the team is known for delivering commercial and strategic employment law advice. The Canterbury office fosters a collaborative and inclusive culture, offering exceptional career development opportunities alongside high-quality work.

About the Role

This role is ideal for a solicitor who thrives on a varied and stimulating caseload. You will handle a mix of contentious and non-contentious employment law matters, including but not limited to:

  • Advising on day-to-day employment issues such as grievances, disciplinaries, and dismissals.
  • Representing clients in complex tribunal litigation, including cases involving discrimination, unfair dismissal, and whistleblowing.
  • Drafting and negotiating employment contracts, policies, and settlement agreements.
  • Advising on TUPE transfers, redundancies, and workforce restructures.
  • Providing strategic advice on diversity, equal pay, and employee relations.

The role also includes active participation in business development initiatives, offering an exciting opportunity for those who enjoy building strong client relationships and contributing to the team's growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver commercially focused and solution-driven employment law advice to a wide range of clients.
  • Effectively manage a diverse caseload, ensuring deadlines, billing, and WIP targets are met.
  • Support the team's business development efforts through networking, marketing, and client events.
  • Stay up to date with legal developments and share knowledge with colleagues and clients.
  • Contribute to the team's positive and collaborative culture, mentoring junior lawyers where appropriate.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

  • 2-6 years of PQE in employment law.
  • Strong technical skills and commercial acumen, with the ability to provide pragmatic, client-focused advice.
  • Proven experience in both contentious and non-contentious employment matters.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a commitment to exceptional client care.
  • A proactive and enthusiastic approach to business development and building client relationships.
  • A collaborative working style and a commitment to professional growth.

Why Join This Team?

  • Work as part of a nationally recognised team with access to high-profile and complex matters.
  • Enjoy a supportive and inclusive environment that prioritises career development.
  • Benefit from flexible working arrangements and a modern office in Canterbury.
  • Be part of a firm known for its commitment to employee well-being and client service excellence.
  • Gain exposure to a wide-ranging client base and opportunities to build your personal brand in the market.

How to Apply

If this opportunity aligns with your experience and career aspirations, please apply as directed. Alternatively, for a confidential discussion, contact Stephanie Richardson at Henderson Scott.

If this role is not the right fit for you, I am also recruiting for a range of other Employment Solicitor roles across Kent and the South East and I would be delighted to discuss opportunities that match your preferences.
