About The Job

Games Workshop is recruiting a qualified solicitor with the passion and drive to provide outstanding legal support and pragmatic advice that safeguards our interests.

This is a varied role where you'll work closely with teams across the business, leading and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts both in the UK and internationally. We're looking for someone confident working independently, as you'll be a trusted partner to teams across Games Workshop, building strong relationships and offering clear, practical legal support that helps us move forward without unnecessary obstacles.

You'll use your skills in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, as well as advising on higher-risk areas such as consumer law, sale of goods, and competition law. Just as important, you'll be approachable and down-to-earth, able to explain complex legal ideas in plain English and adapt your style to suit whoever you're working with. In doing so, you'll be supporting the business to make confident, well-informed decisions.

To be successful in this role, you will have strong commercial experience coupled with the pragmatism to reduce risk, operate at pace, and shift gears quickly within the context of a changing business environment.

If you're a talented professional with a strong understanding of current commercial law, value consistency in your work, strive to deliver high-quality, accurate results, and bring clarity to all aspects of your communication, we want you on our team!

Because of this we believe that what you are like, hence the attitude you show to work and the way you choose to behave is even more important than your skills and experience.

The Warhammer World site is based just outside of Nottingham city centre and benefits from a nearby tram stop and free onsite car parking.

• In return for your hard work, you will receive 33 days holiday per year (including public holidays), matching contributory pension scheme up to 7.5%, profit share bonus (subject to GW meeting profit targets) and option to join our Share Save scheme.
• Oh and let's not forget, a staff discount of between 25% and 50% on our products!
