Danielle Hull
Senior Legal Recruitment Specialist (South)

About the Role

We’re working with an expanding law firm in Lymington that’s looking to recruit an Employment Lawyer to support and develop this area of work. At the moment, employment matters are shared across the team, so this is a real opportunity to shape something and make it your own.

This role can suit two profiles. Either someone technically strong who enjoys the detail of employment law, or someone ready to take the lead and build out the offering longer term.

The role:

  • Handling a range of employment matters for the firm’s existing client base
  • Advising on both contentious and non-contentious issues
  • Supporting colleagues across the firm with employment-related queries
  • Helping to develop and grow the employment offering over time
  • Building relationships with clients and becoming a key point of contact

What’s on offer:

  • The opportunity to step into a role with real scope and influence
  • A growing firm with a strong reputation locally
  • Flexibility to shape the role around your strengths
  • A supportive and collaborative team environment
  • Long-term progression as the department develops

About you:

  • Qualified Solicitor with experience in Employment Law
  • Strong technical knowledge or an interest in developing a specialism
  • Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
  • An interest in contributing to the growth of a department

This is a rare opportunity to join a firm at the right time, where you can either deepen your expertise or take a lead role in building something.

If you’d like to find out more, apply below or get in touch for a confidential conversation.

We also work on a range of legal roles across Hampshire, Dorset, Sussex, Surrey and Berkshire, so even if this isn’t quite right, it’s worth a chat.
