As part of the firm’s continued growth, they are now looking to appoint an experienced Regulatory Solicitor to support a senior figure in the team, primarily focusing on regulatory matters and inquest work. The caseload is corporate-focused, covering areas such as health and safety and environmental cases, rather than traditional insurer work.

• Strong ability to manage deadlines, prioritise effectively, and handle a diverse caseload
• Team player with a proactive approach and the ability to work independently
• High level of attention to detail and strong legal drafting skills
• Excellent organisational and time-management abilities
• Clear and professional communication skills – both written and verbal
• Comfortable liaising with a range of internal stakeholders and external contacts

The Benefits and How to Apply

• Competitive salary up to £50,000, depending on experience
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Flexible hybrid working policy – some travel for site visits may be required
• Private medical insurance
• Health Cash Plan
• Company Pension Scheme
• Ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities
• Well-connected office accessible by public transport
