Senior Labour Litigation Lawyer (They/She/He)

Legal, Madrid, Spain

YOUR MISSION

As a Senior Labour Litigation Lawyer, you will be a senior individual contributor in our HQ Legal Team, owning high-stakes and strategically critical labour litigation and collective labour matters, mainly in Spain.

 You will act as a frontline labour lawyer, trusted to take ownership of complex disputes, interact with labour authorities, and drive legal strategy in situations with real operational and reputational impact.

THE JOURNEY

  • Manage and provide legal consultation on contentious labour litigation, mainly in Spain.
  • Define and execute legal strategy for high-risk labour disputes, including matters with collective implications.
  • Manage autonomously external labour law firms, including instructing, negotiating fees, litigation strategy, pleadings and hearings.
  • Be fully on top of each case, managing deadlines, next steps and legal risk.
  • Act as a key legal contact for matters involving labour authorities and inspections.
  • Interpret and apply collective bargaining agreements and labour regulations.
  • Advise internal stakeholders on complex employment decisions (disciplinary actions, dismissals, sanctions).
  • Think strategically, escalate when needed, and own outcomes end-to-end.
  • Get your hands dirty: when there is a serious labour issue, you will help fix it.

  • ✔ Clear specialization in Labour / Employment Law
  • ✔ 7+ years of professional experience practicing labour law
  • ✔ Proven experience in labour litigation
