Employment Lawyer (Junior to Senior)
London | Flexible / Hybrid Working

If you're an Employment Lawyer considering a move but unsure whether a traditional firm structure is still right for you, this could be worth exploring.

I'm working with a well-established, alternative legal services platform that continues to grow its Employment offering in London. They are looking to speak with lawyers from junior through to senior level who want more control over how they work, without compromising on quality.
The Opportunity

This is a slightly different model to a traditional law firm.
You'll be advising on a broad range of Employment matters, including:

Employment tribunal litigation
Day-to-day HR advisory work
TUPE, restructures and redundancies
Supporting corporate transactions
Building and maintaining your own client relationshipsThe key difference is the level of autonomy and flexibility you'll have in how you manage your work and clients.
Why this opportunity stands out

Flexible working model with real control over your time
Strong infrastructure and support without traditional firm constraints
Ability to build and develop your own client base
High-quality work across a varied client portfolio
Transparent earnings structure with strong financial upsideWho this suits
