Exceptional work. Great people. A career that's going places.
Looking for more than just your next legal role?
At B P Collins, we believe the best careers are built on great opportunities, meaningful relationships and being part of a team where your contribution genuinely matters.
We're looking for a talented and ambitious Employment Solicitor (2–4 PQE) to join our highly regarded Employment team. This is an opportunity to work on interesting, high-quality matters, build lasting relationships with an established portfolio of clients and play a real part in shaping the future of a successful and growing practice.
You'll enjoy the quality and complexity of work associated with larger City firms, combined with the accessibility, collaboration and personal approach that make B P Collins a distinctive place to build your career.
B P Collins is an award-winning, full-service law firm with over 60 years of experience, a strong regional presence and an impressive reputation across the legal profession.
Our Employment team is consistently recognised by Chambers UK and The Legal 500 for its expertise, commercial approach and commitment to achieving outstanding results for clients.
Led by Jo Davis, the team advises an exciting mix of businesses, senior executives and individuals on everything from strategic employment advice to complex, high-stakes disputes.
We've built a reputation for tackling challenging cases, building trusted client relationships and delivering practical advice that makes a genuine difference.
But what really sets us apart is our people.
We're a close-knit, collaborative and approachable team that enjoys what we do, supports one another and celebrates success together.
Here, you'll be a valued member of the team, not simply another fee earner.
This isn't a role where you'll be waiting on the sidelines for opportunities to come your way.
You'll take on an existing portfolio of quality corporate clients, enjoy direct client contact and have the opportunity to develop your expertise across a genuinely varied range of employment matters.
Your work will include:
- Interesting, challenging matters: Advise on a broad mix of contentious and non-contentious employment issues, including discrimination, whistleblowing, unfair dismissal, restrictive covenants and TUPE.
- Real client relationships: Work directly with employers, senior executives and individuals, becoming a trusted adviser who understands their challenges and helps deliver practical solutions.
- Meaningful responsibility: Manage your own caseload with the support of experienced colleagues, building your confidence, independence and professional reputation.
- Variety that keeps you engaged: Handle Employment Tribunal proceedings, settlement agreements, contracts, policies, disciplinary and grievance matters, and strategic employment advice.
- A wider perspective: Collaborate with colleagues across the firm and gain exposure to related services, including business immigration and HR consultancy.
- Room to make your mark: Get involved in business development, networking and new opportunities to strengthen client relationships and help grow the practice.
You'll have the freedom to develop your own style, contribute ideas and take ownership of your work, knowing that support and guidance are always close at hand.
We're looking for someone who loves employment law, enjoys working with people and wants to keep growing professionally.
You'll ideally have 2–4 years' post-qualification experience in employment law, together with a good grounding in both contentious and non-contentious matters.
Just as importantly, you'll be someone who:
- Is curious, commercially minded and enjoys solving problems.
- Builds strong relationships and communicates with confidence and empathy.
- Takes pride in delivering excellent client service.
- Enjoys being part of a team that shares knowledge, ideas and successes.
- Wants to develop their profile, take on greater responsibility and contribute to a thriving practice.
- Brings enthusiasm, initiative and a positive approach to new challenges.
You don't need to have done everything already. We're interested in your potential, your ambition and what you could bring to the team.
Because great work should come with a great working environment.
We know that career satisfaction isn't just about the matters you work on. It's about the people around you, the support you receive and feeling that your ambitions are taken seriously.
