I''m working with a leading Legal 500 national firm that is looking to recruit an NQ-2 years'' PQE employment solicitor to join its respondent-focused employment team. This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for a junior lawyer who wants exposure to high-quality work from day one and the chance to learn properly, not just keep their head down and churn.The role sits alongside a Partner who has brought in exceptional levels of work over the past few years and continues to grow a thriving practice. Importantly, this is not a "sink or swim" environment. This Partner is known internally for being collaborative, approachable and genuinely invested in developing junior lawyers. You''ll be trusted with responsibility, supported when you need it, and encouraged to build confidence and independence at the right pace.The work itself is varied, fast-moving and firmly respondent-focused, advising employers on a broad range of employment matters including contentious and non-contentious work. You''ll be involved in real cases, client contact and strategic decision-making early on, rather than being parked in the background. It''s an ideal role for someone who wants to build a strong foundation in employment law while working with people who enjoy what they do.The firm offers the balance many junior lawyers are looking for but don''t always find. The culture is supportive without being soft, ambitious without being cut-throat, and genuinely collegiate across teams and offices. Flexible wo
