Employment Solicitor

Job Title: Employment Solicitor

Location: Remote / Home-Based

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

Contract Type: Full-time, Permanent

About Us

Kilgannon & Partners LLP is a boutique law firm specialising in HR, employment law, and immigration. We’re known for our client-focused service and supportive work  environment, delivering high-quality legal advice to a diverse range of clients—both individuals and businesses.

The firm has grown significantly through a combination of organic growth, mergers, and  the recruitment of talented fee-share lawyers. We offer both fee-share and traditional employed roles. We are now looking to expand our team with an Employment Solicitor on a traditional employed (non-fee-share) basis.

The Role

We’re seeking a skilled and experienced Employment Solicitor to join our team and manage a broad caseload of employment law matters—with a strong focus on advising individuals.

You will work on both contentious and non-contentious matters, including:

• Employment Rights Act 1996 and Equality Act 2010 claims

• Settlement agreements

• Employment contracts, policies, and procedures

• Employment tribunal cases

You will have autonomy over your caseload, with support from senior colleagues when needed. You’ll also be encouraged to contribute to business development and build your own profile and practice, if that’s something you’re passionate about.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a varied caseload independently

• Advise clients on a wide range of employment law issues

• Draft and review legal documentation, including contracts, policies, and settlement agreements

• Represent clients in negotiations and employment tribunal proceedings

• Engage in advocacy if desired (or utilise our in-house advocates or external counsel)

• Maintain strong client relationships

• Stay current on employment law developments

• Contribute to the firm’s business development efforts

About You

• Qualified Solicitor with at least 5 years PQE in employment law (more senior candidates, including Partner level, are also welcome)

• Strong knowledge of employment law and tribunal procedures

• Excellent communication and client-handling skills

• Comfortable managing a busy caseload with minimal supervision

• Self-motivated and able to work independently as well as part of a team

• Professional, client-focused, and commercially aware

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and bonus structure

• True remote working with flexible hours

• A supportive, collaborative, and values-led culture

• No unrealistic chargeable hours targets

• Opportunities for progression, if desired

• Ongoing training and professional development

• Regular social events

• User-friendly practice management systems (integrated with Outlook and Word)

• Dedicated client services team to handle all inbound enquiries and onboarding
