Our client is a highly regarded Top 100 UK law firm with a strong international reputation. The firm’s Insurance and Employment Litigation practice continues to grow, and an opportunity has arisen for an Employment Litigation Lawyer to join its established team in Bristol. The firm is well known for combining technical excellence with a genuinely supportive, inclusive and flexible culture.
Your new role
You will join a busy and expanding Employment Practices Litigation team within the wider Insurance group, working closely with experienced partners and lawyers on a varied and high‑quality caseload.
The role will involve defending employment‑related liability claims, handling matters both pre‑ and post‑litigation, and advising insurers on policy coverage issues, including employment liability and wider management liability policies. You will act for the majority of leading professional indemnity insurers, as well as directly for insured businesses ranging from SMEs to large corporates, with claim values from tens of thousands to multi‑million pounds.
In addition to managing your own caseload, you will:

This is a client‑facing role offering real autonomy, variety and long‑term career development within a collegiate and forward‑thinking team.
What you'll need to succeed

- A strong grounding in employment litigation and tribunal procedure
- Experience managing Employment Practices liability or employment‑related claims (desirable but not essential)
- Sound knowledge of employment law and legal procedures
- A commercial, solution‑focused approach and strong attention to detail
- Excellent communication skills and confidence dealing directly with clients
While previous insurance experience would be helpful, it is not a prerequisite. The key requirement is strong employment litigation expertise and the ability to deliver an outstanding client experience.

- High‑quality, complex and varied work
- A supportive, inclusive and collaborative culture
