Employment Solicitor 1-3+ PQE | Top Tier L500 Firm | London, City | Hybrid Working from Home 3 Days per Week
The Firm:
This is a Top Tier L500-ranked firm in a period of exceptional growth. With offices across the UK, including the City of London, the firm has recently expanded into a new London Bridge office to accommodate demand—growing by an impressive 60% in a single year.
Despite this pace, the firm has remained stable, supportive, and people-focused, with very low staff turnover. It is a place where individuals build long-term careers and progress—demonstrated by lawyers rising from Associate level to Head of Department. Employment law sits at the core of the firm’s success and reputation, making it a key driver of continued expansion.
Hybrid working (typically three days from home) is standard, with a flexible and trusting approach to how people work.
This firm places a strong emphasis on internal progression, with a proven track record of promoting from within — many of their current Heads of Department joined as Associates and have progressed through the ranks.
