Job Description

NEW GROUND WON'T BREAK ITSELF. This is a varied and senior role sitting within our People & Culture team, reporting to the Director of Recruitment and Partner Matters, with a dotted line into the Director of Employee Relations. The Partner Services Associate Director will provide expert support across two main areas: partner lifecycle matters, from entry through to exit, and employment law and employee relations activity below partner level. The role requires someone with a solid legal grounding who can apply that knowledge in a practical, commercial and people-focused way. You will work closely with People & Culture colleagues, Partners and, where needed, external advisers and legal counsel. Equally important is the ability to build relationships with people at all levels, offering clear and thoughtful guidance on often sensitive matters. Our business is private equity backed, which brings a particular set of requirements around partner documentation and governance. You will be expected to understand those requirements and ensure our processes reflect them — without losing sight of the importance of a positive partner and people experience. You will work closely with the general counsel team and the CPO for support.

Job Responsibility

  • Support the full lifecycle of partner matters, including admissions, promotions, role changes and departures
  • Advise on and coordinate the preparation of partner documentation, including partnership or LLP agreements, admission letters, profit share arrangements and leaver provisions, working with external legal counsel where appropriate
  • Act as a knowledgeable point of contact for partners on matters relating to their terms, obligations and rights, escalating to the Director or General Counsel as needed
  • Ensure partner arrangements remain consistent with the firm's governance framework and PE investor requirements, flagging any areas of risk or misalignment
  • Support the annual partner remuneration review process, working closely with the CPO, Finance and senior leadership
  • Help prepare and maintain remuneration schedules, profit share allocations and related documentation, ensuring accuracy and consistency across the partner group
  • Ensure remuneration decisions are appropriately reflected in partner documentation and records in a timely manner
  • Provide practical and commercially astute employment law guidance to People & Culture colleagues on a range of complex employment related matters
  • Lead on or support employment tribunal matters, including preparing responses, coordinating evidence, liaising with external legal counsel and attending hearings where required
  • Keep the team informed of relevant changes in employment law and case law and translate these into practical guidance or policy updates
  • Contribute to the firm's approach to equality, diversity and inclusion from a legal and policy perspective
  • Build strong working relationships with partners and senior stakeholders, acting as a trusted and discreet adviser
  • Assist in managing relationships with external legal counsel, ensuring value for money and quality of advice
  • Contribute to process improvement across partner services and HR operations, identifying opportunities to streamline and strengthen the way we work

Requirements

  • A legal qualification (solicitor, barrister or equivalent) or significant demonstrable experience in an employment law and HR advisory capacity
  • Strong working knowledge of employment law, including tribunal procedures, ER case management and policy development
  • Experience supporting or managing employment tribunal claims from start to finish
  • Familiarity with partnership or LLP structures, or a willingness to develop this knowledge quickly
  • Excellent interpersonal skills - able to communicate clearly and sensitively with people at all levels, including on difficult or confidential matters

Nice to have

  • Experience in professional services, financial services or a partnership-structured organisation
  • Prior exposure to partner admissions, exits or related documentation within an LLP or similar structure
  • Experience working alongside or within an in-house legal function
  • CIPD qualification or equivalent HR credentials (in addition to legal background)

What we offer

  • Core benefits including life cover, income protection and matched pension
  • Supporting your health with screening, dental and eye care and Doctor@Hand
  • Financial support through mortgage advice, will writing, investment accounts and more
  • Lifestyle benefits including buying holiday, bike schemes, discounts and cashback
  • Tailored development programmes and access to coaching
  • Flexible bank holidays – allowing you to celebrate the days that are important to you
  • Benefits including pension, life assurance and private medical, additional holiday purchasing and health benefits
  • Any benefits giving you access to shopping discounts, gym memberships, financial advice
