Employment Law Solicitor

Rubric Law, a fully remote law firm, is seeking a full-time, permanent Employment Law Solicitor.

Overview

Rubric Law is a dynamic boutique law firm that has spent the time required to handpick and nurture its team. This attention to detail has enabled the firm to build a unique set of values by which the entire firm operates. The service delivered is comparable in quality and sophistication to the top 200 law firms; however, it benefits from a more personal touch.

We are now seeking an experienced, ambitious, and commercially minded employment law solicitor to facilitate continued growth during 2025.

The role

You will be instrumental in assisting in the continued development and growth of the firm. The firm advises employers across a broad range of employment law issues. The role will also support the corporate department in employment matters pertaining to the sale of shares and businesses. You will need to be focused on building relationships with clients and introducers and be able to consistently deliver outstanding and straightforward advice to clients. We are offering a competitive market salary, excellent holiday entitlement, and private medical cover which offers a range of additional benefits.

How you will make a difference?

Your role will revolve around forging strong relationships with clients and initiators and providing them with clear, outstanding advice. Our exceptional communication charter sets us apart – excellence in communication is vital. The employment law department is currently led by the firm’s Managing Director. You will independently manage the existing case load and assist in marketing, developing, and growing the department.

What will be expected of you?

You will be required to live the values of the firm. You will be happy to work autonomously but within the framework of the firm. You will be an excellent communicator both with clients and your colleagues.

Who you will be working with?

As a boutique commercial firm (8 headcount), you will have direct access to all members of the team, including the Managing Director, delivering a superior client service, identifying opportunities, and building relationships. You will report to the Managing Director.

What is it like to work here?

We're an energetic group who are closely connected. There is a flat management structure with the Managing Director actively involved in the development of the team. The work is serious and there is a high output required, but the environment is supportive, fun, and enjoyable.

We operate four practice areas (Real Estate, Corporate, Commercial, and Employment) and have acquired a specialist reputation. This, however, is not the end, and the firm wants to grow and develop each area of the business into new markets and geographical areas.

What will you be like?

• You will be experienced in working in a professional services or legal environment.
• You will be professional, personable, and approachable.
• You will be highly articulate both verbally and in writing.
