Employment / Litigation Solicitor
Employment / Litigation Solicitor , East of England
Fantastic opportunity here for a proactive , experienced solicitor or legal executive to handle both Employment and Litigation matters for a well known Legal 500 firm.
You will be the main fee earner in the team and so you should be comfortable being self-sufficient and you will be someone with commercial awareness who can be visible in the market and be self-motivating.
You will be passionate about both Employment and Civil Litigation. There is a lot of cross over work, leads etc which come into the firm as a result of the strong commercial presence the firm enjoys so it is about having someone who can maximise the opportunities that are presented to them.
Ideally you'll have upwards of 5 years PQE and have trained and gained experience at a comparable busy Legal 500 firm. The split of work is roughly 70% Employment , 30% Litigation.
Both sides of Employment Law are covered here although primarily it has been claimant side work - settlement agreements etc.
There is definite progression available for the right candidate.
On offer is a secure caseload, a supportive firm and a chance to enjoy a work life balance which is envied elsewhere.
The position will need to be filled by someone who is experienced in working their own case load and is used to working in a busy competitive environment using their initiative, with minimum supervision.
Relocators will be considered however you must be able to demonstrate a commitment to live and work in the East of England. An area which has much to offer in terms of work/life balance and quality of life.
