- Handle employee‑related data protection and GDPR queries
- Conduct negotiations and draft settlement agreements
- Run tribunal claims at all stages and conduct related advocacy
- Support Senior Employment Lawyers on more complex matters as required
- Build strong client relationships and contribute to business development activity, including attending events
- Provide guidance and informal supervision to junior team members where appropriate
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the following:
