Lead Employment Lawyer / Senior Level Appointment

Manchester | AfterAthena (Napthens Group)

Let’s be honest. You didn’t become an employment lawyer to spend your days stuck in reactive, last-minute firefighting.

What if you could:

Shape strategy, not just fix problems
Build something meaningful from the ground up
Work with businesses that actually want to do things right

Welcome to AfterAthena.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a standout employment lawyer to take the lead in Manchester—someone who enjoys autonomy, influence, and the chance to redefine how employment law support is delivered.

This isn’t a traditional law firm role.
It’s a hybrid of legal expertise, consultancy, and innovation, powered by tech.

Why this is different

At AfterAthena, you’ll:

Combine legal expertise with cutting-edge AI tools
Provide proactive, strategic advice (not just reacting to crises)
Help businesses build healthier, stronger workplaces
Work alongside HR, H&S and legal specialists in a truly collaborative team

You’ll also leverage our app-based platform—giving clients instant access to insights, templates, updates, and you when it matters most.

What you’ll be doing

Leading employment law support across the Manchester market
Advising on complex ER matters, tribunals, and strategy
Helping clients stay compliant (and ahead of the curve)
Shaping policies, processes and best practice
Playing a key role in growing AfterAthena in the region

What we are looking for

Senior employment lawyer (ideally 6+ PQE, but we’ll flex for the right person)
Someone commercially minded who enjoys client relationships
A natural problem-solver who thrives on variety
A builder—someone who wants to create, not just maintain

Why Manchester?

Because it’s a city that backs ambition and so do our people already working in Napthens Manchester.
We opened our new office this year and now have teams in real estate, residential property, litigation, private client and family up and running.
This is your chance to lead something exciting within it—with the backing of Napthens LLP behind you.

Final thought

You’ve already proven you can do it.
Now’s your chance to do it differently—with more autonomy, creativity, and impact.
