Employment Solicitor

Employment Solicitor (3+ PQE), Manchester

We are working closely with a leading national law firm who are looking to hire an Employment Solicitor with 3+ PQE for their Manchester office.

The firm's employment team is Legal 500 ranked in the North West and acts for employers, HR teams and senior executives across a wide range of sectors, including banking and financial services, technology and media.

The team is already busy, with the majority of work coming through internal referrals, so there is a strong and steady flow of quality work from day one. They are looking for someone who can hit the ground running and manage their own caseload, with the support of experienced partners and real scope for progression.

This role would particularly suit someone who values work life balance, with genuinely flexible hybrid working and realistic target hours.

The work will include:

• A roughly even split of contentious and non-contentious employment work
• Advising employers on contracts, policies and day to day employment matters
• Employment aspects of corporate transactions, including TUPE and redundancy
• Senior executive matters, including exits and disputes
• Grievance and disciplinary matters
• Unfair dismissal, discrimination and whistleblowing claims, including Employment Tribunal litigation
• Opportunity to be involved in sports sector employment work

The ideal candidate will have 3+ PQE in employment law gained at a reputable UK practice, with solid experience across both contentious and non-contentious matters and the confidence to work with a good degree of autonomy.

Package

• Salary up to £70,000 (depending on experience) + benefits
• Hybrid working: 1 to 2 days in the office, the rest from home
