Employment Solicitor / Associate / Senior Associate - Bristol
This opportunity is with a highly regarded UK law firm recognised as a leading national practice and consistently tier 1 ranked in the Legal 500 and Chambers for its employment law offering. The firm acts for an impressive client base ranging from FTSE-listed businesses and major public sector organisations through to charities, high-growth companies and senior executives. Known for combining top-quality work with a genuinely collaborative culture, the firm offers excellent career development, flexibility and long-term progression opportunities.
The Role
Due to continued growth and an increase in client demand, this successful Employment team is looking to appoint lawyers from Solicitor through to Senior Associate level. The team is open-minded regarding experience level and is keen to speak with talented employment lawyers who can bring strong technical expertise and a commercial approach.
You'll work alongside recognised specialists on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters, advising employers across a variety of sectors on their most complex workplace challenges.
Work will include:
- Employment Tribunal litigation and dispute resolution
- Workplace and disciplinary investigations
- Redundancy, restructuring and workforce change projects
- Day-to-day employment law advisory work
- Senior executive and sensitive HR matters
- Global mobility and business immigration support (where relevant)
- Data subject access requests and wider employment compliance matters
- Client training and strategic employment projects
Lawyers joining at a more senior level will also have the opportunity to lead complex matters, supervise junior colleagues and play an active role in the continued growth of the practice.
Candidate Requirements
Applications are welcomed from Employment Solicitors, Associates and Senior Associates who can demonstrate:
- Relevant employment law experience gained within private practice
- Experience handling Employment Tribunal matters, ideally acting for respondents (claimant-side experience will also be considered)
- Strong client relationship and stakeholder management skills
- Excellent organisational abilities and the confidence to manage competing priorities
- Commercial awareness and sound legal judgement
- Desire to develop professionally within a leading national practice
Experience in business immigration or leading workplace investigations would be advantageous but is by no means essential.

- Join one of the UK's leading employment law teams
- Work with a high-profile national client base across a diverse range of sectors
- Access a varied mix of contentious, advisory and strategic employment work
- Benefit from genuine flexibility and a healthy work-life balance
