Employment Solicitor

Employment Solicitor, 5+ Years PQE, Devon / Hybrid, £60,000+ (DOE) – An opportunity to take ownership, make your mark and drive the growth of an employment law practice. JOB REF:6101.

We are currently looking for an experienced Employment Solicitor to join a progressive team in Devon, taking the lead in developing and expanding its employment law offering.

This is more than a traditional fee-earning role. You will have the opportunity to shape the direction of the practice, strengthen existing client relationships and identify new opportunities for growth, with the autonomy and support to make a genuine impact.

The role – your opportunity to make a difference
• Take a leading role in building and developing the employment law practice.
• Advise on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters.
• Generate new business opportunities and nurture valuable client relationships.
• Collaborate with colleagues across multiple offices, identifying opportunities to grow work between departments.
• Contribute ideas and take an active role in the firm’s wider business development, marketing and strategic plans.

What you’ll bring
• Solicitor qualification with at least 5 years' PQE and a solid background in employment law.
• A strong understanding of the commercial drivers behind successful client relationships.
• The confidence and initiative to develop business and raise the profile of a practice area.
• A forward-thinking, entrepreneurial approach, with the motivation to turn opportunities into results.
• The ability to work autonomously while enjoying being part of a collaborative and supportive team.
• An existing client following would be advantageous, but it’s certainly not a deal-breaker. We’re equally interested in someone with the drive, ambition and commercial instinct to build one.

The package
• Salary from £60,000+, depending on experience.
• Hybrid working.
• Devon-based opportunity.
• Genuine scope to influence the direction and future growth of the employment team.

If you’re an experienced Employment Solicitor looking for greater influence, autonomy and the chance to build something with real potential, we’d love to hear from you.
