Partner

This is an exceptional opportunity to join one of the North’s leading Employment teams at Partner level. You will be surrounded by leading Lawyers and gain exposure to engaging, complex work on behalf of a high-calibre client base.

The Firm

This reputable international law firm has gone from strength to strength throughout 2023 and 2024, with continued growth into 2025 forecasted and beyond. With headcount growth at 10% YOY and ambitious plans to build on this, it is a genuinely exciting time to join the firm with significant scope to progress.

As a previous winner of Working Families’ ‘Best UK Employer for Flexible Working Award’, the firm is happy to consider flexible working opportunities to help you balance your work and home life. This practice sets reasonable targets for a firm of their size giving you a fantastic option if you are looking to steer away from a KPI/high volume-based environment.

The Role

The firm is seeking an Employment Partner to join their heavy-hitting team based in Manchester.

The firm’s highly rated employment team handles a wide range of excellent quality contentious and non-contentious work including advisory work on HR issues, disputes-related work in the tribunal and courts, drafting employment documentation, employee relations and transaction/outsourcing work.

The team’s workload is increasingly top-end, complex, and premium work and accordingly, they are working to strengthen our capacity at that level.

Requirements:

• You will be an Employment Partner with at least 7 years PQE (there are no upper limits regarding the amount of PQE and applications are invited from the most experienced candidates)
