Employment Partner 10+ PQE | Top Tier L500 Firm | London, City | Hybrid Working from Home 3 Days per Week | High-Quality Employment Work

The Firm:

This is a Top Tier L500-ranked firm in a period of exceptional growth. With offices across the UK, including the City of London, the firm has recently expanded into a new London Bridge office to accommodate demand-growing by an impressive 60% in a single year.

Despite this pace, the firm has remained stable, supportive, and people-focused, with very low staff turnover. It is a place where individuals build long-term careers and progress-demonstrated by lawyers rising from Associate level to Head of Department. Employment law sits at the core of the firm's success and reputation, making it a key driver of continued expansion.

Hybrid working (typically three days from home) is standard, with a flexible and trusting approach to how people work.

The firm is seeking an Employment Partner (10+ PQE) to join at a pivotal stage of growth.

You will take a leading role in a thriving Employment team, advising on a full range of contentious and non-contentious matters while helping to shape the next phase of the department's expansion.

This is an opportunity to step into a visible, influential position with real scope to grow your practice.

Why This Role:

• Join a firm in rapid expansion - 60% growth and continued investment in key hires
• Lead within a flagship practice - Employment is the firm's strongest and most established area
• Flexibility built in - hybrid working and a genuinely supportive, trusting culture
• Real opportunity to grow your practice - strong platform, existing work, and room to develop further
• Proven long-term progression - clear track record of internal advancement into leadership roles
• Stability alongside growth - ambitious but grounded, with low staff turnover

The Candidate & Benefits:

• You are an experienced Employment Partner (10+ PQE) with strong technical expertise across contentious and non-contentious matters.
• You will be commercially aware, confident in building client relationships, and motivated by the opportunity to play a key role in a growing team. Leadership experience is valued, and a following is welcome but not essential.
• Competitive partner-level salary
• Hybrid working (typically 3 days from home)
• Private healthcare and life insurance
• Clear scope for progression and long-term career development
