The successful candidate will provide commercially focused, pragmatic employment law advice across the employee lifecycle, with a particular emphasis on advisory, transactional and strategic projects rather than contentious employment litigation.

- Employment contracts
- Executive service agreements
- Settlement agreements
- Restrictive covenants
- Incentive and bonus arrangements
- HR policies and procedures
- Provide legal support on international employment issues and cross-border workforce matters where required.
- Support remuneration and benefits projects from an employment law perspective.
- Deliver practical legal guidance and training to HR and business stakeholders.
