Watford, United Kingdom VWV Full time

Employment Associate

A fantastic opportunity for an employment lawyer, most likely at Associate or Senior Associate level, to join our small and supportive team in Watford. Legal 500 rated, with an impressive portfolio of clients, we're looking for an enthusiastic lawyer with a mixture of contentious and non-contentious expertise. We're ideally seeking someone to join us on a full-time basis, although we're open to considering applications from individuals seeking part-time hours or a flexible working arrangement.

About Us

We're a Top 100 full-service UK law firm with just over 500 employees. With four offices in Watford, London, Bristol and Birmingham, you'll be struck by our close-knit and friendly culture. We believe in integrity and authenticity- in each one of us being ourselves both in our interactions with each other as well as with our clients. Enjoying a reputation not just for the quality of our work but also for the qualities of our people, we strive to recruit people who are proactive and passionate about what they do and able to demonstrate humour and humility in equal measure.

The Role and Team

With this role, you can finally have the best of both worlds- the opportunity to make a big impact in a small employment team in Watford, yet enjoy the benefits of being part of a large department (over 30 lawyers), working closely with employment colleagues within other offices. As a Watford team of two Partners - and , one Solicitor and a Trainee, there's an open door for someone at Associate or Senior Associate level to add value to the team.The most striking feature of our role is the variety and quality of work. You'll enjoy all the generalist areas of employment law you'd expect from a firm of our size from advising on employee relations issues, discrimination, employment contracts and TUPE through to defending complex employment tribunals. Your clients will come from many interesting sectors such as manufacturing, finance, recruitment, pharmaceuticals, energy and education and be based in the regions, wider UK and overseas, so you'll relish the fact that no two days will be the same. Although the bulk of the work is respondent based, we do a small proportion of high value claimant work, although you do not need experience in this to apply.As employment law involves supporting corporate deals and wider projects within the firm, you'll naturally find the role to be sociable and interactive. You'll have a love of team endeavour and enjoy working collaboratively with your colleagues across the offices, helping to provide our clients with the seamless "one stop shop" service for which, here at VWV, we are renowned. This is a highly successful team that mirrors the firm's human approach. We understand the need for flexibility in our working lives and we champion the need for our people to enjoy their time outside of their working day as well as within it.

Where Will I Be Working?

We're currently working to a hybrid model of office and home working. Whilst it's your experience and enthusiasm that for us are key, we'd ideally like you to work from our Watford office for three or more days of the week. In this way, you'll benefit first-hand from our warm and friendly culture that no advert can do justice We're of course happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.

Why Choose Us?

There are so many reasons to stop and explore us further. We're known for our friendly and welcoming culture where teamwork and collaboration is key. There's no pigeon-holing or glass ceilings here, just a professional yet relaxed culture where you can finally be yourself. We invite you to watch this short video on the right hand side to see what our own people have to say about us.

Not Sure Whether To Apply?

Here at VWV, we are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. If you require any special adjustments to be made in order to be considered for this vacancy please call our recruiter as we're happy to make the necessary adjustments and allowances.
