• A nurturing, supportive culture that genuinely values innovation and growth
• The opportunity to be part of a boutique firm where your contribution truly matters
• September start date

This is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious NQ solicitor who wants to hit the ground running in a specialist employment practice — without losing the personal development and mentorship that this supportive boutique environment provides.
