Employment Lawyer
Location: Aberdeen
Join a leading Employment team shaping the future of work
We’re looking for an Employment Lawyer to join our highly regarded Employment & Reward team in Aberdeen. Whether you’re early in your career or bring significant experience, we’re open to hearing from talented individuals who want to develop their career in a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.
Why join us?
At Pinsent Masons, our Employment & Reward team is recognised as one of the strongest in the UK. You’ll be part of a large, well-resourced and genuinely supportive team working with some of the world’s most recognisable organisations.
This is a role where you’ll do more than advise on legal issues—you’ll become a trusted partner to clients, helping them navigate complex people challenges and deliver their business goals.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
Work on high-profile, cutting-edge matters
Collaborate with colleagues across the UK and internationally
Build strong, long-term relationships with clients
Develop your expertise across a broad range of employment law
The work
Our work is varied, interesting and often international in scope. You can expect to be involved in:
Complex tribunal claims and employment litigation
Strategic advisory work on workforce issues
Corporate transactions and business change projects
Cross-border employment matters and global mobility
Senior executive and board-level issues, including exits, reward and restrictive covenants
We’re also heavily involved in future-focused projects such as global change programmes, reward strategy and pay gap reporting—giving you exposure to the evolving world of work.
The team
You’ll join a growing Aberdeen team alongside a recently appointed Employment Partner, while also being part of a wider UK group of over 60 employment lawyers across multiple offices.
Collaboration is at the heart of how we work, so you’ll benefit from support, knowledge sharing and opportunities across the wider business.
What we’re looking for
We’re interested in people who:
Are passionate about employment law (or keen to specialise in it)
Enjoy working closely with clients and understanding their business needs
Can deliver practical, commercially aware advice
Work well in a team and across different offices
Are proactive, curious and motivated to grow their career
Experience across areas such as litigation, corporate support, or cross-border work is helpful, but not essential—we’re more interested in your potential and mindset.
What you’ll get in return
We are committed to helping you succeed and grow. You’ll benefit from:
High-quality work with leading clients
Early responsibility and meaningful client exposure
Structured training and development tailored to your career ambitions
Regular feedback, mentoring and career conversations
A supportive and inclusive team environment
