Job description

Interim Employment Counsel (EMEA) – 6‑Month Contract


This role sits within the EMEA employment legal function of a globally iconic technology business. The client is looking to hire an Interim Employment Counsel to provide cover within its EMEA Employment Legal team.


This is a hands-on, autonomous role, suited to an experienced employment lawyer who is comfortable operating with minimal supervision and partnering closely with in-house stakeholders and external counsel across multiple European jurisdictions.


Key Responsibilities

  • Provide end-to-end employment law advice across a range of European jurisdictions
  • Act as a trusted internal adviser on employment matters, policies, and procedures
  • Handle employment litigation and disputes, working closely with local external counsel where required
  • Advise on complex employee relations issues, restructurings, and HR risk
  • Support the wider EMEA employment legal team on strategic and business-critical matters

Jurisdictional Focus

  • Significant advisory exposure to continental Europe, particularly:
  • France
  • Italy
  • Spain
  • UK experience helpful but not sufficient on its own

Candidate Profile

  • Qualified lawyer (England & Wales or equivalent European qualification)
  • Strong generalist employment law background gained in-house and/or private practice
  • Demonstrable experience advising on European employment law matters outside the UK
  • Confident working independently in a fast-paced, international environment
  • Comfortable managing and instructing external counsel across multiple jurisdictions

Working Arrangements

  • Based in London, embedded within the client’s EMEA Employment Legal hub
  • Hybrid working: 3 days per week in the office
