SENIOR SOLICITOR (6 YEARS PQE+)

We are seeking a Senior Solicitor to join our highly successful niche employment law practice, based in Chelmsford, Essex.

We are currently expanding our firm and looking for a high calibre candidate who is based in the local area. You should either be working at a top City law firm at the moment or, having got tired of the commute already, moved out into a local law firm which is highly regarded.

You must have practised employment law in a prestigious City law firm for at least four years and gained fully rounded experience of all areas of contentious and non-contentious employment law with high profile clients. You must have strong academic credentials, including a 2:1 degree or above. You need to have an excellent level of professional gravitas and knowledge of the law but to also be commercial, plain talking and approachable. You should be able to work independently, as well as in a team. You should be highly organised and possess excellent communication skills and attention to detail. Marketing, business development experience and a client following are essential. Experience of delivering training would be beneficial.

In return, we offer a varied and busy role in a fast paced and exciting law firm, which has a prestigious clientbase. There is a broad range of work with diverse clients, from FTSE 100 companies, to national and international charities and senior executives, both in the City and across the UK. We work hard to create lasting relationships with our clients, and most of our work comes to us through personal recommendations; the ability to establish good rapport quickly is a must.

This is a full-time, permanent position attracting a competitive salary and benefits package, dependent upon skill, knowledge, qualifications and experience.

Due to expected volume of applications, we regret that we are unable to reply to every applicant.

Candidates who are shortlisted for interview will also be required to undergo proficiency tests.
