About You
Applications are invited from practising Employment Barristers with strong advocacy experience and a genuine interest in working as part of a collaborative and growing team.

The Opportunity
This role offers the chance to maintain a significant advocacy practice whilst benefiting from the advantages of working within a leading law firm, including:
  • Guaranteed workflow and income.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Excellent pension scheme.
  • Private healthcare.
