Employment Lawyer

We are working with one of the largest financial services organisations across Asia, which has a strong and growing presence throughout Europe. This bank has harnessed a consistent and stable flow of business and continues to perform well so it is a great time to join.

The experience expected from applicants, as well as additional skills and qualifications needed for this job are listed below.

The EMEA legal team is now looking for an experienced Employment Lawyer to join their legal team, initially for an approx. 7-month basis, initially. The successful candidate will occupy a visible role with plenty of breadth and responsibility, encompassing:

• The development of employment policies, procedures and templates/contracts across the UK business in line with company strategy and legislative change;
• Management of the employment/organisational aspects of restructurings and/or acquisitions (including TUPE);
• Guiding the process of any complex grievances/investigations involving senior members of staff, which may include settlement agreements and negotiations at MD level or higher.
• Management of external HR legal advice and costs where needed, including those associated with employee litigation and disputes.
• Close collaboration with HR Business Partners and Employee Relations colleagues in change management initiatives, to minimise legal risk and ensure better outcomes for employees and the business.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an Employment Lawyer to occupy a key role within a reputable and successful financial services organisation, which continues to grow. You will join a collaborative and established legal team and work closely with the HR and ER colleagues.

Whilst the team is friendly and collegiate, you must be able to work autonomously and enjoy a broad diet of work that is dynamic and evolving. You must also be able to thrive in a position of visibility and responsibility, and lead by example.

This team enjoys a flexible and generous hybrid working policy (with 2- 3 days in the office per week) and a healthy work-life balance.
