Role: Senior Associate, Employment (5+ PQE)

Location: London


Are you ready to take the next step in your career with a route to partnership?


Our client, a highly respected international law firm, is seeking a Senior Associate to join their dynamic Employment team in London.


The Role

This is a unique opportunity for a talented Senior Associate to handle a broad spectrum of complex and high-profile employment law matters. You'll advise a diverse client base, including global corporations, financial institutions, charities, and senior executives, across contentious and non-contentious issues.


As part of this team, you’ll work on cutting-edge cases, providing practical solutions on matters such as:

  • Employment law aspects of corporate finance transactions.
  • Discrimination, redundancy, and dismissal disputes.
  • Boardroom disputes, executive remuneration, and corporate governance.

What They're Looking For:

I'm keen to hear from senior employment lawyers with:

  • Exceptional expertise in employment law (5+ PQE) and up-to-date knowledge of recent developments.
  • Broad experience, including contentious, non-contentious, and cross-border matters.
  • Client-facing skills to build strong relationships and deliver outstanding service.
  • Ambition and drive to contribute to the growth and success of the team.
  • Additional experience in business immigration or collective issues (trade unions, industrial action) is desirable but not essential.


Why Join?

This role provides an opportunity to work in a supportive, collaborative team that values innovation and excellence. You'll engage with high-quality work, benefit from robust career development, and enjoy a clear and achievable route to partnership.
