I'm recruiting for a
highly-regarded employment team
with a strong UK presence and growing international reach, and this is a rare opportunity to join a practice consistently recognised for its expertise and market-leading work. You'll be at the forefront of complex and high-profile employment matters, advising both UK and multinational clients across advisory, litigation, corporate, and global mobility work.

This role offers
the chance to work on precedent-setting cases, complex reorganisations, high-value senior executive disputes, and cross-border projects
, all while being part of a collaborative, supportive team that values professional development and career growth.

Why this team?

  • One of the largest employment teams in the UK, with a global network of specialist employment law firms.
  • Exposure to a diverse range of clients, from fast-growing businesses to multinational corporations.
  • Structured career progression with mentoring, support, and opportunities to take ownership of your work.

What you'll do:

  • Advise on all aspects of employment law: contracts, policies, disciplinaries, grievances, restructures, redundancies, and discrimination claims.
  • Handle employment tribunal and high court matters, including restrictive covenants, injunctions, and senior executive disputes.
  • Support transactional work such as M&A, TUPE, and outsourcing.
  • Assist clients with modern employment challenges: atypical working arrangements, gig economy, agency workers, global mobility, and reward and incentive schemes.

About you:

  • 5-8 years' post-qualification experience in employment law.
  • Strong technical knowledge across both advisory and contentious matters.
  • Excellent drafting, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Comfortable managing clients independently and taking ownership of work.
  • Proactive, commercially minded, and a team player who is keen to continue developing professionally.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a real impact, develop your career, and work on high-profile, market-leading employment matters, this is a unique opportunity to join a top-tier practice in London.
