Job Description:

Lawyers on Demand are looking to bring on a Senior Competition Lawyer to cover a maternity leave. This position will be working for a multinational organisation specialising in energy and digital automation.

The ideal applicant will have a strong expertise in competition and antitrust law, including merger control, abuse of dominance, and anti-competitive agreements. You will be confident managing investigations, engaging with competition authorities, and delivering practical, business-focused advice in a fast-paced, global environment.

As a Senior Competition Lawyer, you would be responsible for:

• Advising on a wide range of competition law matters globally. This includes providing strategic guidance on antitrust compliance, merger control, and distribution practices.
• Supporting investigations and interactions with competition authorities.
• Working closely with business units, legal colleagues, and external counsel to ensure compliance and manage risk, while enabling the company’s commercial goals.
• You’d also play a key role in training and developing internal policies to uphold best practices in competition law.

Our assignments are predominantly full time, working on a hybrid model within the London area and surrounding suburbs.

If this sounds like you and you're looking for your next opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join LOD?

People come to us for a whole range of reasons – they might be looking for time for their interests, for work alongside other projects, or just want a change. What they all have in common is a desire for high quality work coupled with a degree of control that traditional models can’t offer, but LOD can.

All of our LODs have worked at top tier firms or as part of major in-house teams. We only accept a small percentage of applications as we choose lawyers who are not only technically excellent, but who can work seamlessly with our client’s teams. This ensures we can offer our lawyers consistently high-quality assignments.

We can offer:

• Varied, challenging, career-enhancing work with market leading brands (from Google to Barclays, and Amex to adidas) as well as exciting growth companies.
• Flexibility and autonomy: you can work anything from full-time on site with a client to a few hours each week from home.
• Training and know-how, as well as support from our dedicated HQ Team.
• A variety of flexible models that include working at the client’s offices or remotely.
