Lawyer

Location: Swansea (Hybrid – 2/3 days office-based)

Are you a mid-level Employment Lawyer feeling like a small cog in a large Cardiff or Bristol machine? This is your opportunity to step into a high-visibility role within one of Swansea’s most respected legal practices.

This isn't just about managing a caseload; it’s about becoming a key figure in a firm that values its Welsh roots as much as its high-performance culture. With a clear, merit-based path to Senior Associate and beyond, this role is designed for a career-driven individual who wants to influence the direction of their department.

You will manage a diverse mix of contentious and non-contentious matters, serving a loyal client base that ranges from local SMEs to significant regional employers.

• Advisory: Providing strategic HR and employment law support.
• Litigation: Handling Tribunal claims from inception to advocacy (where appropriate).
• Corporate Support: Assisting on the employment aspects of M&As and restructuring.

We re not looking for a "volume" biller. We are looking for a colleague. Our client is known for a collegiate, supportive atmosphere where the door is always open.

• Professional Integrity: You take pride in "doing things the right way," not just the fast way.
• Empathetic Advisor: You understand that employment law is fundamentally about people and reputations.
• Local Pride: You are passionate about the South Wales business landscape.

• True Hybrid Working: A genuine balance between collaborative office days in Swansea and focused remote work.
• Future Proof: A firm that is investing in technology and sustainable growth, not just standing still.
• The Lifestyle: Based near the city, you get the high-end legal work without the soul-crushing commute.

At Apex, we focus on high-retention fits. This process is handled with total discretion. If you are curious but not yet ready to "apply" formally, I welcome a confidential chat to discuss the firm’s vision and how it aligns with yours.
