London Area, United Kingdom Vasto Legal Recruitment Full time £60,000 - £120,000 per year

Senior Employment Solicitor – Legal 500, West End

The Firm

This well-regarded West End practice has earned its Legal 500 ranking by consistently delivering clear, commercially-minded advice to a broad range of clients—from ambitious SMEs to established corporates and household names.

The firm prides itself on creating an environment where people can grow their client base, and enjoy a healthy work-life balance. Flexibility is built in and lawyers are encouraged to contribute ideas and shape the way the team operates.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Employment Solicitor to join this flourishing team. It's a varied role, giving you the chance to work across both contentious and non-contentious matters, including:

  • Advising on contracts, policies, and day-to-day HR queries
  • Handling grievances, disciplinaries, and broader employee relations issues
  • Representing clients in Employment Tribunal claims covering unfair dismissal, discrimination, and whistleblowing
  • Supporting High Court employment matters where relevant

You'll work closely with a partner who enjoys mentoring the team and have exposure to high-profile work.

About you:

  • 5+ years' PQE in employment law, with solid experience across both contentious and non-contentious work
  • Strong technical knowledge with a practical, commercially-minded approach
  • Confident client-handling skills and a collaborative team ethic
  • Some exposure to High Court employment litigation is desirable, but not essential

Role Information:

  • Work on high-quality, high-profile client matters
  • Take ownership of your own cases while benefiting from a supportive, partner-led team
  • Flexible working arrangements and a culture that genuinely values wellbeing
  • Real opportunities for career progression and professional development within a Legal 500-ranked team

This is an opportunity to join a firm where career growth, high-quality work, and a supportive culture come together—a place where you can make an impact, develop your practice, and enjoy the work you do.
