Salary: Up to £70,000 (dependent on experience / PQE)
Contract: Permanent
Location: Remote
This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-performing and professional legal team. The firm is a new-model employment law and ER technology business, offering integrated support services, including a dedicated legal advisory team, online HR resources, learning and development tools, and market-leading ER case management software.
The firm provides specialist employment advice to hundreds of businesses. They offer a market-leading employment/HR online resource web portal and an ER case management application that delivers a holistic and integrated solution to clients.
The role would suit professionals with at least 8 years PQE, who are working as either Senior Solicitors or Associates in their current firms, or equivalent in-house positions.
There are no billing targets and no requirement or expectation to have a client following, or to undertake business development activities as the firm has dedicated Marketing and Sales support. There are opportunities for career progression and to take on additional role responsibilities to suit individual ambitions and skill sets.
The role is home-based and open from anywhere in the UK. They are, and always have been, a progressive firm in terms of flexible ways of working, and this role enables a genuine work-life balance. The work is fast paced during core advisory hours, but without a requirement or expectation to regularly undertake additional hours as is often seen in more traditional law firms.
The firm delivers high-quality and prompt advice to employer clients predominantly on a subscription basis, meaning clients see their advisor as an extension of their in-house team and a true partner, rather than a resource to be used only in extreme cases. The legal team benefits from a greater ability to act in the client’s best interests due to building solid long-term relationships and understanding the client’s business, pressures, and objectives. There is less time spent providing fee estimates and billing. No expectation of new business development beyond doing a good job for the existing clients, which generally develops new business organically.
The firm is a close-knit team of highly driven and experienced solicitors. Despite being remote, they share knowledge effectively and work cohesively and seamlessly, ensuring consistency of advice for clients and an environment where all team members continue to develop and learn from each other. There is a constant daily dialogue, both socially and work-related, fostering team spirit and camaraderie. Nobody feels isolated or out on a limb. They genuinely support one another as a team without hierarchy, rather than having to compete for quality work and opportunities, or chase targets.
