Job description

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.

This firm places a strong emphasis on internal progression, with a proven track record of promoting from within — many of their current Heads of Department joined as Associates and have progressed through the ranks.

The Role:

The firm is seeking an Employment Associate 1-3+ PQE to join at a pivotal stage of growth.

• 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:
