Solicitor

ABOUT THE ROLE

Good Law project’s (GLP) legal team has a busy workload advising GLP as a party, funder and campaigner in respect of the broad range of legal proceedings in which it is involved, as well as acting on the record in a subset of those proceedings. The current team includes four senior solicitors, two subject matter experts and a trainee. We are seeking to hire a solicitor to round out the team.

CULTURE & CHARACTER

This solicitor role requires a value-driven lawyer who is genuinely excited about using the law to make a real-world difference. Thriving in a passionate, non-corporate environment where legal strategy goes hand-in-hand with public campaigns, they are a supportive, proactive, and adaptable team player. They are rolling up their sleeves to help senior colleagues on high-profile public law cases, confidently running their own matters, while bringing a collaborative spirit. They combine sharp technical skills and a meticulous eye for detail with a friendly, relationship-first approach, working seamlessly with clients, external counsel, and campaign teams to drive positive social change together.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

ESSENTIAL CRITERIA

1. Excellent technical lawyer, ideally with one to three years post qualification experience as a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales (legal experience prior to training and qualification, e.g. as a paralegal, may also be taken into account), with experience in the conduct and processes of civil litigation, ideally including public law matters
2. Interest in social change and how the law can be used to deliver it, willingness to facilitate campaigning on legal cases and embrace GLP as a campaigning organisation
3. Strong team player with the ability to use initiative and problem solve, both when assisting senior lawyers and when conducting own matters
