Claimant Employment Lawyer

Are you a brilliant claimant-focused qualified employment lawyer with a sense of humour, super high work standards and fantastic client care skills? Do you have at least 2 years PQE?
This is a legal job like you have never seen before…
Do you miss the chance to take your kids to school, put them to bed, or attend school assemblies?
Do you feel like you spend more time with your colleagues than with your family?
Did you kiss your quality of life goodbye a while ago?
Are you fed up of travelling to the office every day just to go to virtual meetings?
Do you feel trapped in your job by the traditional “career progression” journey?
Want to work flexibly full or part time to fit with your life?
It doesn't have to be like this!
At Rebel Law we stand for something different. Something rebellious in the industry:
People over profits
