Job description

OUR IMPACT

We work at the intersection of finance and law, providing counsel and advice that support activities across the firm.

As a division we are focused on our people and their development and are committed to creating an environment that is diverse and inclusive. We offer numerous training and career development opportunities including a weekly legal training programme, department mentoring schemes and a people development committee tasked with providing tangible tools to help manage and develop careers. The department also has a number of active and varied committees including the Diversity, Pro Bono, Charity and Social Committees and encourages participation in affinity networks.

The Employment Law Group (ELG) provides legal support to all divisions across the firm. ELG is responsible for all employment related litigation, regulatory matters, and international advisory work. Working closely with the Human Capital Management (HCM) Division, ELG provides advice and strategic input to the handling of employee relations matters as well as providing support and advice in relation to (amongst other things) internal investigations, legal and regulatory reform implementation, HR policy and strategic projects and transactions.

YOUR IMPACT

The team has an opening for a senior UK-based employment lawyer working either in our offices in London or in our offices in Birmingham. This is intended to be a broad role covering all key aspects of employment law including the following:

  • Being a trusted advisor to HR colleagues and senior managers on matters across the breadth of our EMEA footprint
  • Managing employment-related disputes in both the employment tribunal and other courts, including managing external counsel where appropriate and coordinating with appropriate internal teams including employee relations and compliance
  • Advising on internal investigations including those with a regulatory dimension
  • Leading and/or participating in a range of strategic projects including corporate transactions, re-organizations, reward and benefit design and implementation and regulatory reform and remediation projects
  • Advice on compensation and benefits matters including pay reporting obligations and relevant policy considerations

Qualifications

  • Strong track record of employment law advisory and employment dispute management and resolution gained in private practice, and/or in-house. Financial services experience is an advantage but it is not necessary.
  • 10+ PQE
  • Excellent organizational, project management and communication skills
  • Excellent interpersonal skills: ability to build and maintain strong relationships with relevant business groups within the firm; ability to work with a team of diverse individuals; ability to work collaboratively and as part of a Legal team that is dispersed geographically
  • Highly motivated and proactive; the ability to respond calmly, creatively and quickly in a fast-paced, high-pressure, changing environment
  • Excellent judgment in risk evaluation
