• Excellent technical Employment Law expertise.
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills.
• Commercial awareness and strategic thinking.
• Outstanding communication and presentation abilities.
• Experience creating legal know-how, precedents or delivering training.

The culture is collaborative, inclusive and forward-thinking, with genuine opportunities to influence the direction of the practice while enjoying an excellent work-life balance.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a visible leadership role where your expertise will shape the success of both the Employment team and the wider business.
