Employment Partner | Boutique Employment Firm | London
Ortus Group has been retained by a market-leading boutique claimant-focused employment law firm to appoint a senior Employment Partner as part of the next stage of the firm's growth.
The firm has established an exceptional reputation for representing employees, senior executives, and partners in complex and often highly sensitive employment matters.
The practice is particularly recognized for its expertise across:
- Disability discrimination and workplace mental health
- Neurodiversity
- Whistleblowing
- Harassment and discrimination
- Pregnancy and maternity discrimination
- Senior executive exits and settlement agreements
- Partnership and workplace disputes
- Restrictive covenants
This is not simply an opportunity to join an established practice and inherit a caseload. The firm is looking strategically at the next stage of its development and wants to appoint a senior lawyer who can become an important part of that journey.
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.
The successful individual will join an established, highly regarded team with an excellent flow of sophisticated claimant work, but will also have the opportunity to develop their own practice, influence the future direction of the firm, and help shape how the business grows.
We are particularly interested in speaking with senior lawyers who have genuine experience acting for individuals and who enjoy the commercial and entrepreneurial side of building a practice. A substantial portable following is not the defining requirement.
More important is your reputation, technical ability, relationships within the market, and the potential to develop your practice from an established and highly regarded platform.
The firm is also open-minded about complementary areas of expertise. Lawyers with practices incorporating partnership disputes, restrictive covenants, or related contentious work would be particularly interesting where that expertise complements the firm's existing client base.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This opportunity could suit an established Partner or an ambitious senior practitioner who believes they are ready to operate at Partner level but wants a platform that will give them the autonomy and opportunity to build.
The Opportunity
- A highly regarded specialist employment practice.
- High-quality and complex claimant work.
- An established client base.
- A genuinely differentiated proposition.
- A boutique environment offering autonomy and influence.
- And, importantly, the opportunity to have a meaningful voice in the future growth of the business.
This is a retained search being managed exclusively by Ortus Group.
For a confidential and commitment-free conversation about the firm, opportunity, and its plans for growth, please contact Dan Sill at Ortus Group.
All conversations will be treated in the strictest confidence.
