want to join a dynamic team?

We’re always looking to add bright, passionate lawyers to our growing discrimination law team. We’re a Claimant firm but Respondent-only experience will not preclude you provided you have solid Employment Tribunal experience and can run your own cases. We’ll provide excellent training. You’re organised, reliable, driven, and a can-do attitude and a genuine interest in fighting for your client.

We’re hiring for a positive, upbeat attitude – people who find work fun and enjoy teamwork but who are equally happy to run under their own steam. We work hard helping one another but flexibly and remotely with all equipment and cloud-based resources provided. The team meets regularly online and for face to face socials. We can offer you a rewarding career doing high quality privately paid work without any sacrifice to family and home life.
