Beaumont Legal Recruitment are delighted to support our client, a highly regarded Scottish law firm that is looking to attract an ambitious Employment Solicitor / Associate with 2+ years PQE to join its growing Employment team in Aberdeen or Dundee.
This is an opportunity for an employment lawyer who wants more than simply managing a caseload. You will have the opportunity to work directly with clients, take ownership of your matters, build trusted relationships and play a meaningful role in the continued growth of the practice.
A role with real variety and responsibility.
You will work with an interesting and diverse client base, advising across the full spectrum of employment law, including:
Employment Tribunal litigation, including drafting ET3s and representing clients at hearings
Day-to-day HR and employee relations advice
Drafting and negotiating contracts, policies and procedures
Settlement agreements and termination matters
Employment issues arising from corporate transactions and restructuring
Advising on complex and sensitive employee matters
Delivering employment law training, briefings and updates to clients
Supporting the development of long-term client relationships and new business opportunities
You will have the autonomy to manage your own caseload while benefiting from the support and expertise of an established team.
We are interested in hearing from strong employment lawyers who are commercially minded, client-focused and ready to take the next step in their career.
You will ideally have:
A minimum of 2 years' PQE with solid employment law experience
Strong experience across both contentious and non-contentious employment matters
Confidence dealing directly with clients and providing clear, practical and commercially focused advice
Excellent communication and advocacy skills
The ability to manage your own workload and take ownership of matters
A genuine interest in developing client relationships and contributing to the growth of the practice
A collaborative and approachable style
Most importantly, you will be someone who wants to build a career, not simply move jobs.
This is a chance to join a forward-thinking Employment team where you can increase your level of responsibility, broaden your experience and become a key member of the practice.
You will have exposure to quality work and a varied client base, alongside the opportunity to develop your profile within the market.
For the right individual, there is genuine scope to develop professionally, strengthen client relationships and progress within the team.
If you are an experienced Employment Solicitor looking for your next career move — and want a role where your contribution will be recognised.
