Description
Join our dynamic team in London, as a Lawyer specialising in Employment Rights.

From unfair dismissal to complex discrimination cases, you'll navigate the legal landscape with precision and professionalism.

What the role involves...
This role requires a demonstrated understanding of relevant laws and regulations, particularly within employment rights. You will need to navigate Employment Tribunal (ET) and Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) rules, evidence, and litigation processes effectively. A strong capability to evaluate the likelihood of success and the value of ET claims is essential, as is the skill to calculate special damages and other financial aspects. The role also demands the ability to work efficiently and accurately within tight timelines, while maintaining clear verbal and written communication, including strong drafting and advocacy abilities. Competency in organising and managing case files efficiently is vital, alongside proficiency in Microsoft Outlook and Word, and knowledge of electronic case management systems.
