Currently debating whether to move into Employment Law as an expert field - advice would be appreciated!

Rebecca Read

Hello everyone,

I am after some advice and opinions on the above matter.

I have spent the last 5 years working my way up the ladder from HR administration and I am fortunate enough to now be a Senior HR Manager for a start-up technology firm. I have held this role for just over 1 year now and whilst I still have more years to come, I am always fascinated by Employment Law.

My question is what are the options to move from an HR Manager role to one of an Employment Lawyer? Do I need to go back to university to study, could I do a CIPD course instead and what tends to be the level of entry? 

I absolutely love my role at present but I am just trying to assess long-term what my main interests are and the routes to pursue.

    I hope you're well. My career ambitions are to either start consultancy work or move into an Employment Law specialist role. My previous experience has been as HR Business Partner and HR Manager, predominately working on strategic change but with responsibility for ER case load as and when.

    I've recently commenced the LLM Employment Law course through De Montfort University virtually. Happy to keep in touch and let you know my recommendations to this.
