Lead Employment Lawyer / Senior Level Appointment
Liverpool | AfterAthena (Napthens Group)
Let’s be honest. You didn’t become an employment lawyer to spend your days stuck in reactive, last-minute firefighting.
What if you could
- Shape strategy, not just fix problems
- Build something meaningful from the ground up
- Work with businesses that actually want to do things right
- Welcome to AfterAthena.
The Opportunity
- Your a standout employment lawyer who wants to take the lead in Liverpool—someone who enjoys autonomy, influence, and the chance to redefine how employment law support is delivered.
- This isn’t a traditional law firm role.
- It’s a hybrid of legal expertise, consultancy, and innovation, powered by tech.
Why this is different
At AfterAthena, you’ll
- Combine legal expertise with cutting-edge AI tools
- Provide proactive, strategic advice (not just reacting to crises)
- Help businesses build healthier, stronger workplaces
- Work alongside HR, H&S and legal specialists in a truly collaborative team
- You’ll also leverage our app-based platform—giving clients instant access to insights, templates, updates, and you when it matters most.
What you’ll be doing
- Leading employment law support across the Liverpool market
- Advising on complex ER matters, tribunals, and strategy
- Helping clients stay compliant (and ahead of the curve)
- Shaping policies, processes and best practice
- Playing a key role in growing AfterAthena in the region
What we are looking for
- Senior employment lawyer (ideally 6+ PQE, but we’ll flex for the right person)
- Someone commercially minded who enjoys client relationships
- A natural problem-solver who thrives on variety
- A builder—someone who wants to create, not just maintain
- Why Liverpool?
- Because it’s a city that backs ambition and so do our people already working in Napthens Liverpool.
- And this is your chance to lead something exciting within it—with the backing of Napthens LLP behind you.
- Final thought
- You’ve already proven you can do the job.
- Now’s your chance to do it differently—with more autonomy, creativity, and impact.
