Connect to your Industry
This is an exciting opportunity for an employment lawyer with proven post qualification experience to join us and help to continue to grow and shape our Fair Pay practice at Deloitte in London, focusing on National Minimum Wage and Holiday Pay, ahead of the introduction of the new Fair Work Agency’s compliance powers in this area. Demand for employment law services from Deloitte in the UK is proven and the employment law practice will have the support of the wider Tax and Legal practice and the expertise of the existing Deloitte Legal network in over 80 countries.

Connect to your career at Deloitte
Deloitte drives progress. Using our vast range of expertise, we help our clients become leaders wherever they choose to compete. To do this, we invest in outstanding people. We build teams of future thinkers, with diverse talents and backgrounds, and empower them all to reach for and achieve more.
What brings us all together at Deloitte? It’s how we approach the thousands of decisions we make every day. How we behave, our beliefs and our attitudes. In other words: our values. Whatever we do, wherever we are in the world, we lead the way, serve with integrity, take care of each other, foster inclusion, and collaborate for measurable impact. These five shared values lead every decision we make and action we take, guiding us to deliver impact how and where it matters most.

Connect to your opportunity
We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic proven PQE employment lawyer with a focus on “Fair Pay” which covers National Minimum Wage and Holiday Pay compliance. You can also work across the employment law practice on other types of work but will have a focus in this area. You will:

  • Help us to market and grow our National Minimum Wage and Holiday Pay offering, working in conjunction with employment tax, reward and payroll colleagues across the Business.
  • Enjoy a varied case load providing employment law advice to large multinational companies and public sector bodies with a large number of employees.
  • Help to build the brand of Deloitte’s employment law capability both within the UK and wider international Deloitte firm and in the market.
  • Work effectively in diverse teams within an inclusive team culture where our people are recognised for their contributions.
  • Have direct client contact.
  • Assist directors and partners with their cases, as well as running your own projects under supervision.
    The role will develop in accordance with your own skills, aptitude and preferences and according to the needs of clients and Deloitte.

Connect to your skills and professional experience
Ideally, we are looking for someone with proven Post Qualification Experience as a solicitor specialising in employment law with the benefit of training and development in a leading, well respected law firm or the government legal department.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further details as you progress through the recruitment process, or you can contact the Independence team upon request.

Connect with your colleagues
“At Deloitte I am encouraged to work from home whenever it’s convenient. My hours are flexible – if I want to start earlier or later I can, provided I work my weekly hours overall. There are loads of non-work-related initiatives going on that you can become involved in.” – Becky, Deloitte Legal
“Our ability to seamlessly integrate legal services into broader solutions offered by Deloitte is a differentiator as compared to traditional law firms. Deloitte also has some impressive proprietary technology which we can use to streamline/improve the delivery of legal services. We are ahead of the competition in this regard, including the other Big Four.” – Deloitte Employee
