Employment Solicitor

Employment Solicitor - 2-5 PQE
Location: Leicester
Salary: Competitive + Excellent Benefits
Hybrid Working National Firm Supportive Team Culture

I'm currently working with a well-established national law firm that is looking to grow its Employment team with the addition of an ambitious Solicitor (2-5 years PQE) in its Leicester office. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to take the next step in their career within a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.

The team is known for its supportive culture and high-quality work, and they're keen to speak with employment lawyers who are driven, personable and commercially minded. Whether you're looking for a clearer route to progression, broader client exposure, or a genuinely flexible working arrangement-this role ticks all the boxes.

What you'll be doing:

• Advising both employers and employees on a wide range of employment matters, including settlement agreements.
• Managing Employment Tribunal claims from start to finish-drafting pleadings, preparing witness statements, advising on prospects, and attending hearings.
• Drafting contracts, handbooks and internal policies for clients across a variety of sectors.
• Delivering practical advice that balances legal precision with commercial awareness.
• Playing an active role in business development and client relationship management.
• Contributing to internal know-how, legal updates, and client training sessions.

What they're looking for:

• A qualified Solicitor with 2-5 years' experience in employment law.
• Confident handling both contentious and non-contentious matters.
• Strong drafting and communication skills, with a genuine focus on client service.
• Someone who enjoys working as part of a team but is equally comfortable managing their own caseload.
• A proactive, approachable and solutions-oriented mindset.

Why this role?

• Join a reputable national law firm with a strong regional presence.
• Work in a friendly and ambitious team with access to quality work from day one.
• Benefit from hybrid working, supportive leadership, and structured progression routes.
• Gain exposure to a wide client base spanning a mix of private and public sector organisations.

If you're a mid-level employment lawyer looking for a role that offers both challenge and support in equal measure, I'd be keen to have a confidential chat.
