Solicitor - Employment

Solicitor - Employment (NQ to 3 years PQE)

Location: Edinburgh (Hybrid)

Salary: £50,000 to £60,000 plus Benefits

An exciting opportunity to join a growing Employment team within a well established Scottish law firm, working closely with the Partner as the team continues to develop.

This is a relatively lean team and means the successful candidate will have direct access to the Partners, early responsibility and the opportunity to play a meaningful role in the team's growth.

The role is open to candidates from NQ upwards with at least 1 seat in employment law.

The team handles a broad range of contentious and advisory work, with a particular focus on employment tribunal litigation with more than half of the workload involving defending a major public sector organisation in employment tribunal proceedings.

You'll gain exposure to:

• Discrimination and equality matters


• Advising employers on day to day employment issues


• Strategic advice to HR teams, CEOs and senior management


• Employment work for clients across the energy, oil & gas, and renewables sectors


• Acting for both employers and occasionally employees


• Employment aspects of corporate transactions

The ideal candidate will be from NQ to around 4 years PQE. Incoming NQ's should have at least one seat in Employment and are keen to build their career in the area.

The firm are offering a competitive salary and benefits package with hybrid working.
