Employment Solicitor | Associate / Senior Associate | London
2–7 PQE | Leading Employment Practices | Hybrid Working
Are you an Employment lawyer considering your next move, or simply interested in understanding what opportunities exist across London's leading Employment teams?
Lex Exec is working with several highly regarded law firms, including leading specialist Employment practices and established full-service firms, on opportunities for talented Associates and Senior Associates.
We are particularly interested in speaking with lawyers around 2–7 PQE, including those with strong contentious experience who would like to develop their practice further.
The Opportunities
These are opportunities to join established Employment teams advising sophisticated employers, senior executives and international businesses on complex and often sensitive matters.
Depending on the firm and position, work may include:
- Complex Employment Tribunal litigation, including discrimination, whistleblowing and unfair dismissal claims
- Senior executive disputes, exits and negotiated settlements
- Restrictive covenants, team moves and High Court litigation
- Strategic employer-side advisory work
- Workplace investigations and sensitive employee relations matters
- Restructuring, redundancy and collective consultation
- Employment aspects of corporate transactions
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.
Some opportunities offer a particularly strong contentious focus, while others provide a broader mix of advisory, litigation and transactional work.
About You
We would welcome conversations with qualified Employment Solicitors who have developed their experience within a recognised Employment practice.
You may be an Associate looking for greater exposure to complex litigation and sophisticated clients, or a Senior Associate seeking increased responsibility, stronger progression prospects and a clearer route towards Legal Director or Partnership.
We are particularly interested in lawyers who can demonstrate:
- Strong technical Employment law knowledge
- Experience handling contentious and/or employer advisory matters
- Sound commercial judgement and confidence dealing directly with clients
- Excellent drafting and communication skills
- An interest in developing their practice and progressing their career
Why Consider a Move?
The right move is not always about changing firms for the sake of it.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
It might mean gaining greater ownership of significant matters, working alongside recognised specialists, developing your contentious practice or joining a team where longer-term progression is more achievable.
Because Lex Exec works directly with a number of established Employment teams, we can offer an informed and confidential discussion about the different firms, their practices and where your experience might fit.
You do not need to be actively looking to have that conversation.
Confidential Enquiries
Apply through LinkedIn or contact Colin Lynam directly at colin@lex-exec.com for a confidential discussion.
All enquiries will be treated confidentially, and no details will be shared with any firm without your express agreement.
