Job description

Senior Associate – Employment (5–8 PQE)

Location: Glasgow

Firm: Market-Leading Employment Practice | International Platform

Salary: Highly Competitive + Bonus + Excellent Benefits


The Role

This is a rare opportunity for a Senior Associate to join a top-ranked Employment practice known for its depth of expertise, global reach and high-profile client base. Acting for multinational corporates, household names and fast-growth businesses, the team is trusted on some of the most complex and business-critical workplace matters in the market.


You’ll step into a role that offers both high-calibre work and real influence. Alongside managing your own caseload, you’ll work closely with leading Partners on strategic mandates, often with a cross-border element, while also playing a visible role in client relationships and the continued growth of the practice.


The culture is a genuine differentiator and renowned across their offices in the UK and the rest of the world. This is a firm where collaboration, approachability and high performance coexist and where Senior Associates are given the platform, trust and autonomy to develop their profile, deepen client relationships and progress towards Partnership.


The Work

  • Advising employer clients on the full spectrum of employment law, both contentious and non-contentious
  • Leading on Employment Tribunal litigation, including discrimination, whistleblowing and high-value claims
  • Handling High Court matters, including restrictive covenant and team move disputes
  • Advising on TUPE, restructures, redundancies and large-scale workforce projects
  • Supporting on cross-border and multi-jurisdictional mandates
  • Acting as a key contact for clients, delivering commercial, solutions-led advice
  • Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers within the team
  • Contributing to business development and client growth initiatives


Your Experience

  • UK-qualified Solicitor (5–8 PQE) with a strong background in Employment law
  • Broad experience across both advisory and contentious matters
  • Confident managing complex matters and leading client relationships
  • Experience supervising or mentoring junior team members
  • Commercially minded with a proactive, solutions-focused approach
  • Strong communication, drafting and analytical skills
  • Interest in business development and contributing to team growth


Why This Role?

  • Join a top ranked Employment team with a leading UK and international presence
  • Work alongside recognised leaders in the field on complex, high-profile matters
  • Exposure to multinational clients and cross-border work
  • Real autonomy and client ownership at Senior Associate level
  • Clear and structured pathway to Partnership
  • Collaborative, supportive culture with a strong focus on people and development
  • Flexible and hybrid working with genuine work-life balance
  • Highly competitive salary, bonus and comprehensive benefits package
