We are partnering with a highly respected national law firm to recruit an Employment Solicitor into its growing team based in Birmingham.
The team has a strong reputation across the healthcare, independent care, and public sectors, and is increasingly active across areas such as insurance, financial services, higher education, housing, and wider commercial organisations.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a nationally recognised employment team advising a broad client base ranging from major public sector bodies to multinational employers.
You’ll support senior lawyers while also managing your own caseload, gaining exposure to a mix of contentious and non-contentious employment work, including complex and high-profile matters.
Duties include:
- Advising clients on a full range of employment law matters
- Supporting on employee relations issues (disciplinary, grievance, capability)
- Drafting and reviewing employment contracts, policies, and procedures
- Assisting with and managing employment tribunal claims
- Advising on TUPE, restructures, and redundancy processes
- Providing guidance on equality legislation and compliance
- Contributing to training sessions and client-facing initiatives
- Supporting business development and client relationship activities
You’ll work collaboratively across offices as part of a multi-disciplinary national team, often alongside specialists in regulatory, commercial, and governance matters.
Experience required:
- Qualified Solicitor (England & Wales) with employment law experience
- Strong grounding in both contentious and non-contentious employment matters
- Experience advising on employee relations and tribunal matters
- Knowledge of equality legislation and employment case law
- Experience drafting contracts, policies, and settlement documentation
- Exposure to sectors such as healthcare, public sector, financial services, or commercial organisations (beneficial but not essential)

- Strong client management skills and an interest in business development
