Join a growing Employment team where you'll make a real impact 

We have an exciting opportunity for an Associate to join our Employment Team at ARAG Law. Whether you're looking for the flexibility of remote working or a hybrid role from our Bristol or Bedwas offices, you'll be joining a highly supportive team with genuine opportunities for progression. 

You'll work on a varied caseload covering all aspects of employment law, advising both employees and employers on contentious and non-contentious matters. From unfair dismissal and discrimination claims to whistleblowing cases and advising on settlement, no two days are the same. 

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys litigation, values client relationships, and wants to develop their expertise within a collaborative and ambitious team.

We are committed to supporting professional development through internal Training Contracts, SQE and CILEX qualification routes, alongside comprehensive mentoring and supervision. 

You'll join an organisation with an inclusive, supportive culture that places clients at the heart of everything we do and empowers colleagues to build rewarding, long-term careers.

We pride ourselves on providing early responsibility, strong supervision and clear career pathways. Alongside challenging and rewarding work, you'll find a welcoming culture with regular team and social events. 

What You'll Be Doing 

You'll manage your own employment law caseload and advise clients across a wide range of matters, including: 

Unfair dismissal claims 
Discrimination claims 
Whistleblowing disputes 
Employment Tribunal proceedings 
Settlement negotiations 

You will have the opportunity to take ownership of your files, develop advocacy skills where appropriate, and gain hands-on experience across a broad range of employment disputes and advisory matters.
