What if your understanding of employment law could drive growth instead of just bill hours? A leading UK-wide law firm is looking for a commercially sharp employment solicitor to take on a strategic business development role within its nationally recognised Employment practice. This is an opportunity to step into a position where your market insight, client instincts and technical credibility directly influence the expansion of a high-performing national team. The Employment group already advises employers and senior executives on complex, high-value and reputation-sensitive matters. It has the platform, the reputation and the talent. What it wants now is focused, intelligent growth. Working closely with Employment Partners, you will identify new opportunities, deepen key client relationships and help shape the team's trajectory across priority sectors and regions. This is not a move away from employment law, but a shift in how you use it. You will remain close to legal developments, workplace trends and regulatory change, using that insight to design client strategies, support panel appointments and drive targeted campaigns. You will contribute to thought leadership, refine client propositions and help position the team ahead of competitors in an increasingly sophisticated market. The role will suit an employment solicitor who has developed strong commercial awareness through practice and finds themselves increasingly interested in how work is won, relationships are built and markets are shaped. It may appeal to a senior associate who enjoys client engagement and strategic thinking as much as black-letter law, and who wants influence without the pressure of billing targets. You will need credibility, confidence and a genuine interest in market development. In return, you will gain visibility at Partner level, involvement in firm-wide planning and the chance to play a central role in shaping the future of a respected national Employment practice. The culture is collaborative, ambitious and supportive, with flexible working embedded and contribution measured by impact rather than hours.
