Are you an Employment Solicitor looking for something a little different?
We're a modern, growing law firm built around the belief that employment law should be accessible, practical and genuinely supportive. We have removed the unnecessary layers, outdated processes and rigid structures often associated with traditional practice, creating an environment where talented lawyers can focus on delivering excellent advice while enjoying genuine flexibility.
Whether you're newly qualified or in the early stages of your legal career, this is an opportunity to develop your expertise within a supportive team whilst managing meaningful client work from wherever you choose to be based in the UK.
We operate entirely through secure cloud-based systems, allowing you to work remotely using your own laptop or computer, with all software, training and support provided. For those occasions when face-to-face meetings are beneficial, optional access to modern coworking spaces in Manchester and London is available.
The role
You will manage a varied employment law caseload, with a particular emphasis on settlement agreement work.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Advising clients on settlement agreements, COT3 agreements and protected conversations.
* Drafting, negotiating and progressing settlement agreements from instruction through to completion.
* Providing clear, practical employment law advice in straightforward language.
* Supporting clients through disciplinary, grievance and capability matters.
* Advising on redundancy situations and TUPE transfers.
* Assisting with Employment Tribunal matters, including unfair dismissal, discrimination and whistleblowing claims.
* Managing ACAS Early Conciliation discussions and negotiations.
* Supporting employer clients with contracts, policies and day-to-day employment queries.
* Contributing to wider employment law projects, compliance work and training activities.
About you
We're keen to hear from solicitors who are newly qualified or early in their post-qualification career and have gained hands-on employment law experience.
You will:
* Be a qualified Solicitor in England and Wales.
* Have experience handling employment law matters gained during training or post qualification.
* Be confident managing settlement agreement work or have a genuine interest in specialising in this area.
* Possess litigation experience and be comfortable supporting general contentious matters.
* Communicate confidently with clients and provide pragmatic, commercial advice.
* Be organised, proactive and capable of managing your own workload.
* Enjoy working independently whilst remaining connected to a collaborative team environment.
Experience drafting commercial contracts and agreements would be advantageous, and knowledge of shareholder agreements would be welcomed but is not essential.
Why join us?
* Fully remote working from anywhere in the UK.
* Employed and self-employed options available.
* Part-time flexibility considered.
* Modern cloud-based systems and technology.
* Optional access to Manchester and London coworking spaces.
* Friendly, down-to-earth culture with no unnecessary hierarchy.
* Genuine opportunity to develop your career and shape your role within a growing firm.
If you're looking for flexibility, autonomy and high-quality work within a supportive and forward-thinking environment, we'd love to hear from you.
