Employment Lawyer | NQ upwards, open to PQE | £42–75k DOE | Hybrid + Benefits & Incentives | SE London/Kent
An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Employment Lawyer looking to take the next step in their career with a forward-thinking, prestigious Legal 500 firm. With a strong reputation across SE London, Kent and London, this growing firm is seeking an Employment Lawyer with a solid background in employment law to join its highly regarded Employment Department. The team advises on a broad spectrum of employment law issues and is central to the firm’s continued expansion, with clear ambitions for Legal 200 recognition. This role is ideal for a solicitor (open in terms of level), experienced in handling both respondent and claimant matters, and with a genuine passion for business development.
Why This Role Stands Out
-
Strategic Growth Opportunity This is a key hire as part of the firm’s long-term growth plans. You will play an important role in strengthening the employment law offering and developing new work streams.
-
High-Quality Work You will manage a varied caseload of respondent and claimant matters, including corporate support, redundancies, restructures, tribunal claims and day-to-day advisory work. Exposure to both respondent and claimant matters is essential, and confidence across the full spectrum of employment law will be highly valued.
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.
-
Real Emphasis on Growth The firm is looking for someone with a clear passion for business development—someone who enjoys networking, building relationships and spotting opportunities. Your passion for business development will be encouraged and supported, and you will have the autonomy to contribute to the department’s strategy.
-
Collaborative Culture Join a collegiate team where excellence in employment law, collaboration and commercial thinking is genuinely recognised.
What They Are Looking For
- Qualified Solicitor, if an NQ you must have completed a seat in employment law (private practice preferred)
- Strong technical experience handling respondent and claimant matters
- A demonstrable passion for business development and client relationship building
- Confidence advising on complex respondent and claimant matters independently
- Commercial awareness and excellent client care skills
- Immigration experience advantageous but not essential
Key Responsibilities
- Managing a busy caseload of employment law matters
- Advising on both respondent and claimant matters
- Driving initiatives aligned with your passion for business development
- Supporting marketing and networking activity
- Collaborating across departments to generate cross-referrals
