Employment Associate

Employment Associate | Bristol | 2+ PQE

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Employment Associate to join a highly regarded national employment team in Bristol.

Roles of this quality are rare within the Southwest market. The team is widely recognised as one of the strongest employment practices in the UK and is regularly instructed on complex, high value and strategically important matters for major organisations across the country.

The firm is keen to speak with Employment Solicitors from 2+ PQE upwards, with the structure and quality of work in place to support continued progression and development long term.

The Practice

The team advises a broad client base including listed companies, household name businesses, public sector organisations, high-growth companies and senior executives.

• The work is broad ranging and offers exposure to some of the most interesting employment matters currently available in the market, including:
• Strategic advisory and day-to-day employment support
• Large workforce restructures and organisational change projects
• Employment Tribunal and wider litigation matters
• Internal investigations and sensitive people issues
• Cross-border and global mobility matters
• Data subject access requests and regulatory matters

One of the standout aspects of this opportunity is the quality of the client exposure available. Associates within the team are encouraged to take ownership of matters, work closely with clients and build strong relationships with senior stakeholders from an early stage.

The Bristol office works seamlessly with the wider national employment group, particularly London and Edinburgh, meaning lawyers benefit from access to premium quality work while remaining part of a collaborative and approachable team environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is an ideal move for someone wanting access to a stronger quality of work and a clearer long-term platform within employment law.

The team continues to attract significant instructions and remains a key area of investment for the firm. Opportunities to join practices of this calibre in Bristol do not come around often, particularly at Associate level.

For lawyers who feel they are no longer being challenged by the quality of work available to them, or who are looking for closer access to highly regarded senior lawyers and clients, this presents an opportunity to join one of the leading employment teams in the market.

The wider firm is also known for its collaborative culture, strong retention and transparent approach to progression and flexibility.

The successful individual will ideally have gained solid employment experience from a recognised regional, national or City firm and will be looking to continue developing within a high-performing and ambitious team.
