A leading global financial services organisation is seeking a Corporate Solicitor to join its established in-house legal team in London. This is an excellent opportunity for a junior lawyer looking to make their first move in-house and gain exposure to a broad range of corporate, finance and regulatory matters within a highly respected organisation.
Working as part of a collaborative legal team, you will advise on business-critical projects and strategic initiatives, partnering closely with stakeholders across the organisation while developing a well-rounded in-house skillset.
The Role
Joining a growing corporate legal team, you will work closely with senior lawyers and business stakeholders, providing commercially focused legal advice across a wide variety of matters.

• UK qualified solicitor
• Likely to have between 0–3 years’ PQE, although candidates outside of this range will be considered
• Experience gained within a recognised corporate, banking, finance or transactional practice
• Strong technical foundations combined with a commercial and pragmatic approach
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
