About You

• Qualified Solicitor (England & Wales) with a minimum of 5 years’ PQE
• Demonstrable experience in UK employment law, ideally within private practice
• Proven ability to generate and manage your own client work
• Strong technical expertise across employment law matters (dismissals, discrimination, TUPE, contracts, etc.)
• Excellent communication, business development, and client management skills
• Entrepreneurial mindset, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently

Benefits & Rewards

• Market-leading fee share: retain up to 70% of your billings
• Uncapped earning potential – your income reflects your ambition
• Flexible, remote/hybrid working – London office access available
• Full back-office support: compliance, billing, marketing, and admin
• Access to modern technology, case management, and legal resources
• Regular networking, peer support, and knowledge-sharing events
• No minimum billing targets – focus on quality, not just numbers
• Career progression: opportunity to build your own team or develop a niche practice

Location & Working Arrangements

• Based in London, with flexible remote/hybrid options
• Office space available for collaboration or client meetings as required
