Job Description

Employment Solicitor / Partner – Remote (UK)


Are you an Employment Partner ready to step away from traditional firm constraints and into a genuinely modern, high-performing platform?


We are working with a fast-growing, specialist employment and regulatory law firms, ranked in the Chambers Global Elite firms list. Built on agility, collaboration, and commercial fairness, this firm offers a rare opportunity to take control of your practice - without sacrificing support or quality.


This firm offers one of the most competitive commission structures in the UK legal market, with a transparent and rewarding link between effort and income:


  • Retain 75% of billings on work you originate and deliver
  • 60% on work you deliver but don’t originate
  • 25% for internal referrals


Full-service support – without the overhead


Unlike many “consultant” models, you’ll have access to a proper infrastructure:


  • Dedicated PA and paralegal support (fully funded)
  • Marketing, PR, and press support to build your profile
  • PSL and know-how resources
  • CRM, billing, compliance, and IT all handled for you
  • Pitch support and collaborative business development


This allows you to focus on what matters: clients, relationships, and high-quality legal work.


Why this opportunity?


  • Stability & growth – No partner has left in over 5 years, a testament to the firm’s culture and success
  • Truly agile working – 100% remote, giving you freedom to work on your terms while staying connected to a supportive, collegiate team
  • Collaborative culture – No silos, no politics, no management pressures – just a genuine partnership of lawyers working together
  • Progressive model – A chance to be part of a forward-thinking firm that values innovation, autonomy, and work-life balance


Apply in the strictest of confidence online and or via telephone.
