Description
NXTGEN is working on behalf of a respected and growing law firm in Cambridge that is looking to strengthen its Employment team with the appointment of an experienced Employment Lawyer.
This role would suit an established Senior Associate or a strong mid-level lawyer ready to step into a broader position with increased responsibility, higher-value work, and genuine progression potential. The team advises a wide-ranging client base including owner-managed businesses, larger employers, HR leaders, and senior individuals on both day-to-day advisory matters and more complex disputes.

- Complex disciplinary and grievance matters
- TUPE and organisational change matters
- Tribunal claims and dispute management
- Drafting contracts, handbooks and policies
- Supporting and developing junior colleagues
There will also be scope to contribute to networking, client development, and wider team initiatives.
About You
We are keen to hear from solicitors, Chartered Legal Executives, and other qualified lawyers with established employment law experience.
You will likely bring:
- 5+ years’ PQE or equivalent experience
- Strong advisory and/or contentious employment background
- Confidence managing your own matters and key relationships
- Commercial judgement and pragmatic approach
- Interest in mentoring or supervising others
- Desire to continue progressing your career
