Solicitor - Employment

Job description

Are you a 5 years+ PQE Solicitor ready to step out of a rigid corporate structure and into a role where your work directly shapes the business?

At FG Solicitors, we offer the opportunity to work in a close-knit, supportive legal environment where you can develop your skills, take ownership of meaningful work and contribute directly to the direction and growth of the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Advisory & Drafting: Draft, review, and advise on employment contracts, director service agreements, restrictive covenants, staff handbooks, and workplace policies.
• Contentious Caseload: Handle Employment Tribunal matters from start to finish (including ACAS conciliation, drafting pleadings, witness statements, and instructing counsel).
• Corporate Support: Assist corporate teams on employment aspects of M&A transactions, reorganisations, redundancies, and TUPE transfers.
• Client Relationship Management: Provide practical, commercial HR advisory support to business owners, HR managers, and corporate leadership.
• Team & Business Growth: Mentor junior solicitors and paralegals, while actively taking part in marketing and networking activities to expand the firm’s client base.

Why Join Us?

• You will be recognised as an individual, not just a number.
• You will have the opportunity to make a direct contribution to the firm’s business direction and growth.
• You will benefit from broader experience and greater responsibility across a varied caseload.
• You will work as part of a collaborative team with direct access to senior colleagues.
• You will enjoy a healthier work-life balance without compromising on professional ambition.
• You will have a genuine opportunity to progress towards partnership in the firm.

We offer a competitive salary, a friendly and professional working environment, and the chance to play a key role in a growing firm that values initiative, commitment and fresh ideas.

If you are looking for a role where your work matters, your voice is heard and your career can develop alongside the growth of the firm, including the potential to progress towards partnership, we would be pleased to hear from you.
