There are 150 vacancies for Fee-paid Judge of the First-tier Tribunal, with vacancies across all 7 chambers. Tribunals often sit as panels consisting of a legally qualified chair (the judge) and non-legal members with specific areas of expertise. During the hearing the judge must ensure that the overriding objective (to deal with cases fairly and justly) is observed, which will include all parties having the opportunity to participate in proceedings as fully and fairly as possible. Many cases involve individuals putting their own case forward without legal assistance. The judge should therefore help ensure the system is accessible to all by guiding parties through the procedures appropriately. Except in cases that involve national security or evidence of a very personal nature, substantive final hearings in tribunal cases are held in public.

There are  50 vacancies for Fee-paid Judge of the Employment Tribunals (England and Wales). Employment judges in England and Wales preside over Employment Tribunals, the jurisdiction of which involves a wide range of workplace disputes involving claims against employers, individuals, trade unions, professional and regulatory bodies.

The role will require the candidate to have a good understanding of this area of law and also be able to demonstrate initiative, confidence and ambition. The person will also need to be highly organised and able to communicate effectively both within the team, with Counsel, with clients and offshore firms owing to the international dimension of our work. The person who joins this team will learn how to offer practical solutions in circumstances where clients are placed in stressful situations often involving reputational damage and regulatory bodies.

​

The candidate must have a good grounding in contentious matters relating to corporate clients, be a team player with an enthusiasm to work in the area together with a real enjoyment of working in the department and with the team.

​

The candidate will be working on large scale fraud disputes concerning financial matters. The work will also include a mixture of urgent interim relief type applications including worldwide freezing orders, disclosure orders and cross border applications.

​

The candidate will have to have had trial experience and interim relief experience and be prepared (when necessary) to work unsocial hours. The role will not include criminal corporate crime issues.
