Employment Solicitor

Employment Solicitor | 2+ PQE | Cardiff

This is an opportunity to make employment law your own. The Cardiff team is growing, and they're looking for a solicitor who doesn't just want a caseload but wants to shape how employment advice is delivered in a modern, client-focused practice.

Why this role stands out
You'll work with a diverse client base ranging from SMEs and start-ups to larger corporates and senior executives. One day you might be advising on TUPE transfers or collective redundancies, the next you could be supporting on complex tribunal claims or high-stakes boardroom disputes. There's variety here, but also the chance to develop a specialism if you want to carve one out.

What you'll be doing

• 
  Advising employers and employees on the full spectrum of employment law matters
• 
  Handling contentious and non-contentious work, including tribunals, contracts, policies, and strategic advice
• 
  Building trusted client relationships through clear, pragmatic guidance
• 
  Supporting senior lawyers on significant cases while running your own matters independently
• 
  Getting involved in business development and helping to grow the team's profile in Cardiff and beyond

What they're looking for

• 
  Qualified Solicitor with at least 2 years' PQE in employment law
• 
  Strong technical knowledge across both advisory and contentious matters
• 
  Clear communicator who can balance legal expertise with commercial awareness
• 
  A proactive, collaborative approach with the confidence to build relationships

What's on offer

• 
  Competitive salary plus bonus potential
• 
  Hybrid working, with flexibility built in
• 
  A supportive team culture that values fresh ideas and professional growth
• 
  Exposure to complex, high-quality work without losing work-life balance
• 
  Genuine progression opportunities as the Cardiff office continues to expand

This is a chance to do more than just "handle cases." It's an opportunity to shape your career, influence the team's future, and build a reputation as a trusted advisor in employment law.
