The Role

You’ll provide practical, commercial advice to colleagues dealing with disputes involving both individuals and small businesses. The role is advisory rather than contentious, but a strong understanding of the litigation process will be key to supporting sound decision‑making.

You’ll also manage external legal relationships where needed.

• Qualified solicitor or barrister with strong experience in dispute resolution, regulatory law or litigation.
• Background in a regulated sector, ideally energy, would be a distinct advantage.
• Excellent communicator, able to give clear, pragmatic advice to non‑lawyers.
• Commercially aware, with the ability to balance legal risk against practical outcomes.
• Proactive and adaptable, motivated to contribute in a part‑time capacity.

What’s on Offer

Opportunity to be the first in‑house lawyer and shape the role. Interesting, values‑driven work with exposure to complex and meaningful issues. A collaborative and supportive environment where your contribution will be highly visible.
