Location: Poole Hybrid Working

An established Legal 500 law firm in Dorset is looking to appoint an experienced Employment Law Solicitor with 5+ years' PQE to join its Corporate and Commercial team. The role is offered at Associate or Senior Associate level and presents a genuine long-term opportunity with a clear pathway to partnership.

This is a full-time, permanent position based in Poole. The firm operates a hybrid working model, with the option to work from home one day per week following probation.

You will work alongside another Employment Law specialist, managing a broad employment law caseload for a varied client base. The work is predominantly employer-focused and includes drafting employment contracts, policies and handbooks; advising on employment disputes including unfair dismissal and discrimination; providing HR advice on disciplinaries, grievances and redundancies; advising on employment aspects of corporate transactions including TUPE and employee due diligence; advising on Employment Tribunal matters; and delivering employment law training to clients.

A strong technical background, the ability to manage matters independently and confidence in client-facing work are essential. Experience of supervising or mentoring junior Lawyers or support staff would be advantageous.

The firm offers high-quality work, a supportive and collegiate culture and a transparent career structure. There are excellent prospects for progression, including partnership, making this role particularly suitable for candidates seeking a stable, long-term career move. Relocation candidates are welcome.
