Employment Lawyer - Top Tier Firm - Manchester
Chadwick Nott are now recruiting for an experienced Employment Lawyer to join our client, a Top Tier International Law Firm, to be based in their Manchester office.
Our client is a market-leading International Law Firm, who have an award winning and well-regarded Employment practice. They advise an impressive array of bluechip PLCs, including many FTSE250 businesses, and institutional clients in relation to the full spectrum of Employment Law matters.
Due to expansion they are looking to appoint a qualified Solicitor to lead an established team of fee-earners who specialise in contentious Employment Tribunal work. The work is backed by Legal Expenses Insurance and provides a very steady stream of work.
Acting as a Manager of the team you will be expected to deal with the most complex of these claims, in addition to managing the caseload for the team and supervising the junior fee earners with their claims handling. You will be the primary client contact, taking responsibility for the MI and ensuring SLAs and KPIs as per the agreement with the insurer. As a large part of the work is process driven you will be expected to continually review the processes to ensure optimal efficiency. As an expanding area of the business this is a great chance to take on a senior role within the structure and play a key part in the further growth of this team.
The ideal candidate will be a qualified Solicitor with a minimum of 4 years PQE in Employment Law. Contentious Employment Law experience, with a strong understanding of the Tribunal process is essential. Ideally you will have advocacy experience up to at least preliminary hearing level. Experience of Legal Expenses Insurance work, or similar funding arrangements, will be beneficial.
This is a great opportunity to join an expanding team and department, who in turn can offer you excellent progression and development prospects.
Should you wish to discuss this role, or other similar opportunities, please contact Iona Kobbekaduwe for a confidential conversation.
