A respected UK law firm is looking for a Senior Associate to join its well-established Employment team. This is a permanent position offering a competitive salary and the chance to take on varied, high-quality work across all aspects of employment law — including discrimination, employment tribunals, and TUPE matters.

What’s on offer:

A supportive, collaborative team
You’ll be joining a close-knit team known for excellent client service and strong internal support. You’ll work alongside experienced colleagues, share ideas, and contribute to each other’s professional development.

A role with real impact
You’ll advise a range of clients on complex employment law issues, helping them navigate sensitive situations with confidence and clarity.

Flexible working
We offer a hybrid working pattern – typically two days a week from home and three days in our modern office – giving you the balance of flexibility and team connection.

What we’re looking for:
  • Solid experience in employment law, particularly around discrimination and tribunal work
  • Confidence in advising on redundancies, restructures, dismissals, and TUPE transfers
  • Strong client-handling skills – comfortable leading meetings and negotiations
  • Experience drafting and reviewing contracts and providing commercial, practical legal advice
  • A track record of supervising junior team members or contributing to their development
Preferred qualifications:
  • Qualified solicitor in England and Wales
  • Strong technical knowledge of employment law and recent developments
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
