Employment Solicitor

Birmingham – £55,000 - £75,000

Employment Solicitor – Birmingham (Hybrid Working)
Full-time | Flexible Working | Top-Tier National Work | Public & Private Sector Clients
 
We’re looking for an experienced Employment Solicitor to join a nationally recognised team, based in the Birmingham office of a leading UK law firm. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on high-quality, meaningful employment law matters across sectors including health, local government, higher education, financial services, housing and commercial.
 
You’ll get stuck into a mix of contentious and non-contentious work—from complex Tribunal litigation to TUPE, redundancy, and advisory matters. The team is especially known for its standout reputation in the health and care sector, but you’ll have scope to build your expertise across a range of clients.
 
Why this role?

• Hybrid working with true flexibility (not just lip service)
• Strong pipeline of litigation and advisory work
• Friendly, collaborative culture with real career development support
• Work that makes a difference, especially in the public sector
• Clear, structured progression in a firm that invests in you

What you’ll need:

• Solid experience in both contentious and non-contentious employment law
• Confident advising on policies, procedures, TUPE, restructuring, and employee relations
• Tribunal experience (advocacy a bonus, not essential)
• Strong client management and commercial awareness
• Public sector experience helpful, but not essential

Perks include:
25+ days holiday, discretionary bonus, private medical insurance, enhanced pension, cycle to work scheme, wellbeing programme and more.
