Employment Solicitor

My client in Chelmsford is currently looking for an Employment Solicitor due to expansion.

About You

• Currently a Solicitor of 5 years + PQE
• A good knowledge of employment law
• An excellent communicator
• Great client care skills
• An entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to win new clients
• A passion for networking
• A hard worker who wants to develop their legal career and progress quickly
• Always willing to learn and try new things
• Trustworthy and professional
• A team player willing to help out colleagues

About the Role

Your role will be to harness our team's expertise to solve our clients’ legal problems with expert, commercially minded and great value advice. On a week-to-week basis this is how you will achieve this:

• Meeting potential new clients, getting a really detailed understanding of what they need and giving them the confidence to instruct my client to solve their problems. Not all lawyers understand that an initial interview is a combination of a sales meeting and an information gathering meeting to turn a potential new client into an actual new client. Can you sell your expertise in a confident and professional way?
• Solving employment law problems for individuals – identifying all the potential issues and getting the best legal outcome for your client. You will see people from all walks of life and need to be able to communicate at the right level in plain English.
• Solving employment law issues for businesses – from start-ups to larger SMEs you will solve day to day employment and HR issues and keep your clients on the right side of the law with up to date paperwork and your expert advice at the end of the phone.
• Growing the business – working with the rest of the team to develop new opportunities and communicating our message to attract new clients. This will range from writing articles for the website and publications to attending business networking events and even speaking to a room full of people if you have the skill.

It goes without saying that as a Solicitors practice, we have high professional standards to meet and we expect the highest ethical standard from all our team.
