FULL-TIME
(Although Part-time applications will be considered)
Everys Solicitors has been trusted by businesses and individuals across the region for generations. We deliver the full range of legal services with professionalism, clarity and a genuinely personal touch. Long‑standing client relationships are at the heart of our firm, and clear communication underpins everything we do.
We’re proud of our deep roots in the communities we serve. Across Devon and Somerset, we actively support local charities, sports clubs and community organisations. That same commitment extends to our people: we invest in development, encourage progression and foster a genuinely collegiate, supportive working environment.
Our Litigation Department is a busy, well‑established team of ten fee earners supported by experienced staff, handling a broad spectrum of civil litigation work. As part of our continued growth, we are now expanding our employment law offering and are seeking an experienced employment lawyer to help drive this forward.
We are looking for a solicitor or CILEX lawyer with around 3–5 years’ post‑qualification experience in employment law. We will also consider more senior applicants who are keen to broaden their litigation skillset and/or who bring strong business development experience or an existing client following.
This is a growth role with real autonomy. You will take ownership of your caseload and play a key part in developing and expanding our employment practice. Initially, your time will be weighted towards business development, and you will be encouraged to bring ideas, energy and initiative to building new work streams.
The role is based in our Exeter office for at least three days per week, with hybrid working available once probation is complete or you are fully integrated into the team. Travel to other offices will be required for client meetings and marketing activity.
You will be actively involved in the firm’s wider marketing and business development strategy, and we welcome candidates who enjoy building relationships and generating new opportunities.
We offer a strong benefits package and excellent long‑term career prospects. Everys continues to grow at pace, with a merger in 2022, a new Tiverton office opening in 2024, and multiple partner promotions and lateral hires. We were proud winners of the DASLS Law Firm of the Year Award (£3M+ turnover) in 2023, and in 2024 our Managing Partner, James Griffin, was named DASLS Leader of the Year. There is a genuine feel‑good factor across the firm, and our people tell us they love working here.
If you’re looking for a fresh challenge and the chance to shape the future of our employment offering, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please send your cv to [email protected].
