Associate Employment Lawyer
We have a brilliant opportunity to join ARAG Law as an Associate in our Employment Team, to be based on a hybrid basis from our central Bristol or Bedwas offices.
Who we are:
The Employment Team is made up of over 40 fee earners with a range of experience from Paralegals to Senior Associates. We are a dedicated and hard-working team and we work in a friendly environment with regular monthly social outings.
We offer exceptional levels of responsibility and pride ourselves on our levels of supervision and internal career progression, including a detailed careers pathways programme. We have a strong values culture, which means you will be closely supported and mentored by your colleagues, learning to provide consistent and outstanding service to your clients.
What do we do:
The Employment department deals with all aspects of employment law which is predominantly focussed on litigation and some elements of advisory work for both employees and employers.
The type of work the team deals with on a day-to-day basis includes advising on unfair dismissal claims, discrimination and whistle blowing. The work is very varied and no one case is the same as another.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As well as acting for employees and employers during the litigation process we also provide advisory HR services, such as advising on employee handbooks and the drafting of employment contracts to support and guide businesses through the complexity of employment law requirements.
Where appropriate, the team also deals with its own advocacy. We encourage early responsibility with a real emphasis on creating opportunities to promote our lawyers from within the team. This means you will gain real “hands on” experience across a broad range of claims and defences and will become an expert on employment law and negotiation and settlement tactics.
About you:
We would like to hear from candidates with employment litigation experience who can demonstrate the following knowledge and experience:
- Excellent working knowledge of employment law and procedure;
- The ability to run a caseload; and
- Excellent client care skills.
Benefits:
