Employment Solicitor - Guildford

Guildford, Surrey | Permanent | Top 100 Law Firm | Salary dependent on experience

Employment teams that act only for employers, or only for individuals, tend to produce lawyers with half a practice. This team does both, and the caseload shows it.

A Top 100 regional firm, ranked in the Legal 500 and Chambers for employment law, is recruiting an employment lawyer for its Guildford office. You will not be stuck doing one type of work for one type of client.

The Role

• Respondent work including senior terminations, restructures, TUPE, discrimination claims and tribunal litigation

• Clients across technology, financial services, hospitality and other sectors

• Claimant work advising senior executives and professionals on exits, settlement agreements and restrictive covenants

• Close working relationships with business owners and HR leaders

About You

• Qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with employment law experience

• Backgrounds from either employer or employee-focused practices are welcome

• Confidence with clients and sound commercial judgement are essential

• Comfortable giving practical answers rather than textbook ones

Why Consider It

• High quality work at regional rates of pressure rather than City ones

• A varied, well-balanced caseload across both sides of the fence

• A strong platform for progression within a well-regarded, directory-ranked team
