  • Drafting contracts, handbooks and internal policies for clients across a variety of sectors
  • Delivering practical advice that balances legal precision with commercial awareness
  • Playing an active role in business development and client relationship management
  • Contributing to internal know-how, legal updates, and client training sessions

Requirements

  • Confident handling both contentious and non-contentious matters
  • Strong drafting and communication skills, with a genuine focus on client service
  • Someone who enjoys working as part of a team but is equally comfortable managing their own caseload
  • A proactive, approachable and solutions-oriented mindset

What we offer

  • Excellent Benefits
  • Hybrid Working
  • Supportive Team Culture
  • Structured progression routes
