We are looking for an Associate to join our team in Solent.
You will occupy a key position in this thriving team working on a full range of employment matters – both contentious and non-contentious. We offer full Tribunal capability up to and including advocacy at hearings. You will work alongside other employment lawyers in our national network and our colleagues in other teams – particularly corporate.
As an Associate in this team you will have chance to build your own relationships with clients. Indeed we imagine you will already have some of your own clients at this stage in your career and will have demonstrable skills in winning work and developing your client base. We want you to feel proud of our enviable client roster and work with us to expand it. We hope you will be innovative and passionate in the way you help us to deliver our service.
You will be able to steer the direction of your career and develop your preferred area of expertise as you progress. We encourage you to make your individual input with the support of a collaborative team behind you. We will also look to you to supervise and develop juniors and have a role in influencing the course of the team. This is a meritocracy and your contribution will be recognised and rewarded.
We place a lot of belief in culture and community, and genuinely think we have something different to offer you at Shoosmiths. This is reflected in everything we say and do from our use of technology to enable agile working, to the team spirit and culture.
We are a values-driven business – our values are at the core of the firm and we evaluate how we behave in accordance with these values through a competency framework. This role is considered to be at competency Level 2 in our internal framework.
