You'll be advising a broad spectrum of clients across the commercial, charity, education, retail and sports sectors, with a strong emphasis on the not-for-profit and socially responsible space.

- Draft and negotiate legal documents such as leases, contracts, transfer deeds, and certificates of title
- Take early ownership of matters and maintain regular client contact
- Collaborate on larger projects, including charity mergers and corporate or asset acquisitions
- Balance multiple matters and deadlines using a pragmatic, solutions-led approach
- Contribute to business development and nurture lasting relationships with clients and sector partners

- Have strong technical skills and a clear, concise writing style
- Take a practical, commercially aware approach to problem-solving
- Be enthusiastic about working with clients who value impact over profit
- Thrive in a team-based environment where learning and collaboration are central
- Be proactive, adaptable, and aligned with the firm's purpose-driven ethos
THE OPPORTUNITY
This firm offers an exceptional environment for ambitious lawyers looking to develop their careers while making a positive difference. Benefits include:- Meaningful Work - Be part of a team advising values-led clients making a tangible difference in society
- Hybrid & Flexible Working - Enjoy a balanced working pattern with hybrid options and part-time flexibility
- Progressive Culture - A genuinely inclusive and supportive workplace that champions diversity and innovation
- Excellent Benefits - Including private healthcare, green pensions, IVF support, enhanced parental leave, and more
