Employment Solicitor

Job Description

Senior Associate - Employment Law
Location: Belfast | Full-time, Permanent
Experience: 4+ Years PQE

Join a Leading Employment Law Practice in a Truly Supportive Firm

I'm working with a top-tier law firm in Belfast seeking to add a Senior Associate to its highly regarded Employment Law team. This is a standout opportunity for an experienced solicitor ready to take their career to the next level-offering complex, high-value work, a forward-thinking culture, and real potential for advancement.

You'll advise on a wide spectrum of employment matters, from day-to-day HR issues to large-scale restructures, TUPE, litigation, and cross-border projects. The team is trusted by household-name clients and consistently ranked as one of the top employment practices in the region.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Exposure to some of the most high-profile employment work in the market

  • Salary £55,000-65,000

  • Work with genuinely supportive and down-to-earth colleagues

  • A culture that champions growth, flexibility, and autonomy

  • A clear pathway to progression, with space to make your mark

They're Looking for Someone Who:

✔ Has 4+ years' PQE in employment law (dual-qualified NI/ROI is a plus)
✔ Can confidently manage both contentious and advisory work
✔ Enjoys building strong client relationships and mentoring junior colleagues
✔ Brings a commercial, proactive, and solutions-focused mindset

If you're ready to take on high-quality work with top-tier clients, within a team that values both excellence and balance, this could be the perfect next step.
