**The Employment Team**

The Penningtons Manches Cooper Employment Team provides fast, proactive and practical legal support. Approachable and commercially aware, our specialists have in-depth experience of the issues faced by businesses when managing their staff.

We keep clients up to date with the raft of new employment law regulations, highlighting how these could impact on their overall strategy and safeguarding against the potentially huge costs of non-compliance.

Although we are experienced litigators, and frequently represent organisations at employment tribunals and in court, we also offer specialist employment law advice in resolving conflict through alternative dispute resolution.

We also advise Senior Executives on a range of matters, including on contractual disputes, contentious exits and high value claims.

We are also recognised as market leaders in advising employees, trade unions and staff associations on a range of issues, including industrial disputes, severance agreements, regulatory matters and claims in the Employment tribunal, High Court and appellate courts, with particular expertise in whistleblowing and discrimination claims.

**Responsibilities**:
The team is looking to recruit at junior Associate level, ideally with 0-2 years’ post qualification experience. The role will focus on providing legal advice and guidance to our Police Federation client base, which is the staff association for police officers up to the rank of Chief Inspector.

The work will involve providing advice to the Police Federation on contentious and non-contentious employment matters, as well as regulatory and pension issues for their members, and to provide advice and representation in claims in the Employment Tribunal and civil courts.

Employment legal knowledge is needed, and experience in regulatory and/or pension matters is desirable but not essential. A solid understanding of the various IT platforms used to assist in litigation, case management and marketing is also required.

The role will suit a confident and enthusiastic individual who is committed to claimant work, and is committed to providing the best and most efficient possible service to clients.
