We are working with a highly regarded, fast-growing Manchester law firm to recruit an Employment Associate Solicitor into their acclaimed Employment team.
The team is recognised by both Chambers & Partners and the Legal 500 and acts for an impressive client base that includes several household names in the hospitality sector, as well as businesses and individuals across a broad range of industries.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for an ambitious solicitor looking to join a collaborative, entrepreneurial team that handles high-quality, complex work.
The Role
You will work closely with Partners on a varied caseload with an approximate split of 70% respondent and 30% claimant work, covering:
- Advising employers and employees on a wide range of employment law matters including discrimination, redundancy, disciplinary procedures, and employment contracts and policies
- Representing clients in Employment Tribunals and mediations
- Negotiating settlement agreements
- Managing your own caseload proactively while supporting the wider team
- Contributing to business development through networking, speaking engagements, and practice growth initiatives

We are looking for a driven and commercially minded Employment solicitor, ideally with 1–4 years’ PQE, though candidates with broader experience are equally welcome. You will also need:
- A strong technical grounding in UK employment law with solid hands‑on experience
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills and the ability to build lasting client relationships
- An appetite for business development and contributing to the growth of the practice
- A collaborative, confident approach and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑profile environment
