STEP qualified or working towards it

Commercially minded and capable of building lasting client relationships

Entrepreneurial, self-driven, and excited by the idea of building a new practice from a high-quality platform

A confident communicator and leader, capable of mentoring junior lawyers and representing the department internally and externally

Why Apply?

Lead the practice – shape strategy, brand, and growth from day one

Work with ambitious leadership – modern, agile, and client-centric

Prime London location – a fitting base for the calibre of clients you’ll serve

Real autonomy – make your mark without layers of hierarchy

Competitive salary – £120,000 – £150,000 DOE, which will be supported by the successful candidate's business case, with some flex depending on that.
