Senior Associate, Employment

One of my key West End clients is seeking an experienced Senior Associate to join the growing Employment practice.

The team has an outstanding reputation for advising both employers and senior executives on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters, while also providing corporate support to a busy M&A practice.

Recognised in the Legal 500 for both employer and senior executive work and with both Partners individually ranked in Chambers, this is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in the next stage of the team's growth.

You will work on a broad range of high-quality matters, including:

  • Advising employer clients on day-to-day employment law issues
  • Managing Employment Tribunal claims from inception to conclusion
  • Advising senior executives on employment contracts, exits and settlement negotiations
  • Supporting corporate transactions through due diligence, warranties and indemnities, and TUPE advice
  • Supervising and mentoring junior members of the team
  • Developing your own client relationships and helping grow the practice
  • Raising the team's profile through networking, public speaking, seminars and social media
  • Supporting business development and marketing initiatives.

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.
