Our client is seeking a proactive, commercially minded Senior Paralegal to support its corporate legal function. Working closely with the Head of Legal, you will be a trusted first point of contact for colleagues across the business, helping manage contracts, governance, compliance and a varied range of day-to-day legal matters.

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership and thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• Supporting the Head of Legal with document tracking, renewals, signing processes, meetings and external advisers.
• Reviewing and drafting commercial and corporate documentation, including managing NDA negotiations.
• Conducting legal research across areas such as HR, intellectual property, regulation and corporate governance, and preparing clear internal summaries.

• Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders and improving legal processes through practical technology solutions.

What we're looking for

• Experience in a corporate environment, ideally within an in-house legal team or a large law firm.
• Practical experience of commercial and corporate contracts, company law, compliance and stakeholder management; property law exposure is advantageous.
• A confident "doer" who is comfortable tackling unfamiliar tasks, applying sound judgement and working independently.
• Strong negotiation, communication, research and drafting skills.
• Excellent organisation, attention to detail and a solutions-focused approach.
• Confidence working with senior leaders and handling sensitive business matters.
• A law degree or legal conversion is helpful but not essential where relevant legal experience can be demonstrated.
• Previous experience in the utilities sector would be ideal, although candidates from other regulated industries will also be considered.
