We look not only for brilliant minds, but for people who will thrive in our environment: people who love working collaboratively and demonstrate the innovative, efficient, agile, entrepreneurial, and responsible mind-set we aim to bring to every interaction. Ours is an environment of outperformance. We achieve this not with targets and incentives, but by fostering a positive, supportive, fair, and open atmosphere. We respect and value difference but insist on inclusivity. We celebrate all aspects of diversity and challenge any form of bias. This is vital to our ability to work as one team, with a common goal.

• Develop and maintain standardised pricing models and tools for common complex matter scenarios, improving consistency, efficiency and response times across the firm.

• Ensure agreed pricing and fee arrangements are accurately documented and implemented within the firm’s systems and processes, working closely with lawyers, project managers, billers and other relevant teams.


• Drive the continued development of the firm’s pricing capability through market and trend analysis, reporting and insight, training and knowledge sharing, and the testing and application of AI use cases within pricing.

What we’re looking for

• At least three years’ experience in a pricing role, ideally within the legal or wider professional services sector.


• A proactive and self‑motivated approach, with the ability to take ownership and responsibility for key areas of work.


• Strong commercial awareness and a client‑focused mindset, with a commitment to delivering high‑quality outcomes.


• Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accuracy and sound judgement when working under pressure.


• A collaborative and flexible approach, with the ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary and global team.
