The Role

Barden is partnering with a very well established law firm currently looking to recruit an Employment Lawyer to join its team. You will join a team providing strategic advice and practical solutions across both public and private sectors.

• Representing employers (primarily) and employees before bodies like the Workplace Relations Commission, Labour Court, and Civil Courts.
• Drafting, negotiating, and advising on contracts, policies, and termination agreements.

The team also supports public and private sector clients on a range of Data Protection and regulatory matters.
