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.
