Job Description

Corporate Lawyer (3–5 PQE) – Media

Overview

We are working with a fast-growing business within the media sector, seeking a bright and commercially minded junior corporate lawyer to join its legal team. This is an excellent opportunity for a well-trained lawyer looking to broaden their in-house experience beyond traditional transactional work.

The role is ideally suited to someone who has trained at a strong firm, is intellectually curious, and is keen to develop a more rounded, strategic skillset within a dynamic business environment.

The Role

Reporting into senior legal leadership, you will support on a range of “central” corporate matters, while also gaining exposure to commercial legal work and elements of PLC governance.

This is not a deal-heavy M&A role, but rather a varied and business-facing position offering genuine breadth and development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support on core corporate matters across the group, including internal structuring and governance
  • Assist with PLC-related governance work, including board and committee support
  • Provide legal input on central business functions and strategic initiatives
  • Draft, review, and negotiate a range of commercial agreements as required
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including finance, HR, and operations
  • Support on ad hoc corporate projects and business-critical initiatives
  • Liaise with external counsel where necessary

Requirements

  • UK-qualified lawyer with c. 3–5 years’ PQE
  • Strong grounding in corporate law from a reputable law firm
  • Exposure to governance work and/or listed company environments is advantageous
  • Interest in expanding into commercial and broader in-house legal work
  • Commercially aware, pragmatic, and solutions-focused
  • Strong academics and training background
  • Confident communicator with the ability to engage with stakeholders across the business
