Employment Associate

Newcastle | 4+ PQE | Respondent Employment

A strong opportunity for an experienced Employment Solicitor looking for a role with plenty of quality work, established clients and scope to develop their career.

This is a well-regarded employment team with a strong presence across the North and an impressive client base.

The role

You’ll join an established Newcastle team and handle a broad mix of contentious and non-contentious employment work.

The work includes:

• Employment Tribunal claims
• Complex dismissal and discrimination matters
• Whistleblowing cases
• General employment advisory work
• TUPE and organisational change
• Collective consultation
• Wider strategic employment projects

You’ll have the opportunity to manage your own caseload, develop client relationships and work on matters for a range of sizeable employers across different sectors.

There’s also the chance to get involved in business development, client seminars and mentoring more junior members of the team.

What they're looking for

Ideally, you’ll be:

• A qualified Employment Solicitor with around 4+ years' PQE
• From a respondent-focused employment practice
• Experienced in Employment Tribunal litigation
• Comfortable handling both contentious and non-contentious matters
• Confident advising clients directly and managing your own workload
• Commercially minded and able to find practical solutions
• Someone who enjoys working as part of a genuinely collaborative team

Experience working with larger employers or organisations in regulated sectors would be useful, but isn't essential.

Why consider it?

Great quality work.

A strong, longstanding, client base.

A well established and sizeable team.

And importantly, this isn't a role where you'll simply be another pair of hands.

You'll have the opportunity to build relationships, manage your own matters and play an active part in the continued growth of the team.

The firm also offers a flexible approach to working, with hybrid working available.

Interested?

If you're an Employment Solicitor in Newcastle and this sounds like it could be worth a conversation, I'd be happy to give you the full picture — completely confidentially.

Equally, if you're happy where you are but know someone who might be interested, I'm always happy to speak to recommendations.
