Job description

We're currently working on an interesting opportunity for experienced lawyers to become involved in a significant, high-profile public inquiry project in London.

This is an opportunity to work on something quite different from traditional private practice, supporting an established legal team on a complex and sensitive matter where the work is both challenging and meaningful.

We're particularly interested in speaking with lawyers who have previously worked on public inquiries and understand the demands of managing large volumes of evidence, reviewing complex documentation and contributing to the legal processes that underpin these investigations.

The work will involve a combination of evidence review, legal analysis, disclosure, preparing documentation and supporting the wider legal team as the inquiry progresses. You'll be working alongside experienced lawyers and other stakeholders, so the ability to exercise sound judgement, work collaboratively and manage competing priorities will be important.

Given the nature of the project, we're looking for qualified solicitors or barristers who already hold current SC (Security Check) clearance.

The initial contract is for 12 months, with the possibility of further extensions, making this an attractive opportunity for lawyers who enjoy project-based work but are also looking for some longer-term stability.

The position is based in London and will require office attendance, so candidates will need to be comfortable working on-site.

We'd be particularly keen to hear from lawyers who are available in the near future, whether you're coming to the end of an existing inquiry assignment or simply interested in exploring your next opportunity.
