Senior Associate – Employment | London | 5–8 PQE
Lex Exec is working with a top-ranked London employment practice looking to add a Senior Associate to its highly regarded team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an employment lawyer who wants genuinely broad exposure rather than being channelled into one narrow area of employment law.
The practice advises an impressive mix of UK and international employers, senior executives, and household-name businesses across:
- Complex employment advisory work
- Employment Tribunal litigation
- Senior executive matters
- Restrictive covenants and team moves
- Restructuring, redundancy, and TUPE
- Transactional employment support
- International and cross-border projects
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.
Applicants will ideally have 5–8 years PQE gained within a recognised employment practice, with experience acting for employer clients across both advisory and contentious matters.
At this level, you will be trusted to run matters autonomously, deal directly with clients, and play a role in supervising more junior lawyers. There is also a clear expectation – and opportunity – to become increasingly involved in client relationships and business development.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The team is particularly attractive for someone looking for top-quality employment work within a genuinely specialist environment, while retaining a broad practice and building their own profile in the market.
