This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious and commercially minded individual — whether you are a Solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive or highly experienced Paralegal — to take ownership of a department from day one and play a key role in shaping its future.

You will join a business led by an experienced leadership team with over 50 years’ combined experience, committed to delivering clear, practical advice in a straightforward and client-focused way.
