Senior Employment Lawyer
Fully Remote

Are you an experienced Employment Lawyer looking for a fully remote opportunity offering a varied workload, close client contact and greater flexibility?

I'm working with a growing legal team looking to recruit a Senior Employment Lawyer to handle a high volume of Employment Tribunal matters for a small number of major clients.

The Role

You'll work closely with clients, acting as an extension of their in-house legal teams and taking ownership of contentious employment matters from initial instruction through to resolution.

The work will focus on Employment Tribunal claims, giving you the opportunity to manage a busy caseload, provide practical legal advice and build strong relationships with clients.

You'll be responsible for:
  • Managing Employment Tribunal claims from initial instruction through to resolution.
  • Advising on contentious employment matters and litigation strategy.
  • Drafting pleadings, witness statements and other tribunal documentation.
  • Working closely with clients to understand their needs and provide commercially focused advice.
  • Managing a high-volume caseload efficiently while maintaining quality and attention to detail.
  • Keeping clients informed throughout the process and helping them navigate employment disputes.
You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of your work and develop close working relationships with a small number of major clients, with the support of an experienced employment law team.

About You

You'll be an experienced Employment Lawyer with a strong background in contentious employment matters and Employment Tribunal litigation.

You'll ideally have:
  • Experience managing Employment Tribunal claims independently.
  • Strong knowledge of employment law and tribunal procedures.
  • The ability to manage a high-volume caseload and prioritise competing deadlines.
  • A pragmatic, commercially minded approach to advising clients.
  • Strong communication skills and the confidence to work closely with senior stakeholders.
  • The ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively with colleagues.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to take on a senior employment law role within a modern working environment, handling significant tribunal work for major clients rather than managing a constantly changing mix of unrelated instructions.

The position offers the flexibility of fully remote working, close client relationships and the opportunity to focus on contentious employment law within a dedicated team, with access to specialist employment law expertise and support.

It's an alternative to a traditional private practice role for an Employment Lawyer who enjoys tribunal work, client contact and managing their own caseload.

Location Fully remote within the UK

If you're an Employment Solicitor or experienced Employment Lawyer considering your next move, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation and provide further details.
