Looking for your next challenge? Join an entrepreneurial legal firm, supporting scaling businesses

At Jamieson Law, we're passionate about empowering ambitious entrepreneurs and growth-oriented businesses with expert legal guidance tailored to their unique needs. Founded in 2018, and run by founders Barbara Neilan and Lynne Riddell, we've built a reputation for being a strategic legal partner who understands the intricacies of growing a business. Our team is committed to providing pragmatic, commercially sound advice across a range of specialties including corporate law, intellectual property, commercial contracts, and employment policies.

Our entrepreneurial spirit means we know what it takes to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the business world. We pride ourselves on being responsive, commercially aware, and always in our clients' corner, helping them achieve their business goals and secure long-term success. That means we work beyond the tick boxes, beyond the status quo and beyond the bland, stuffiness of typical legal firms. We work collaboratively and innovatively, always looking ahead and anticipating what's next for our clients.

As we continue to grow and expand our services, we are looking for a talented and driven newly qualified lawyer to join our dynamic team. If you share our passion for supporting business growth and want to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join Jamieson Law?

• Entrepreneurial environment: Be part of a team that truly understands and embraces the entrepreneurial journey.
• Collaborative culture: Work in a supportive environment where your ideas and contributions are valued.
• Professional growth: Benefit from opportunities for continuous learning and career development.
• Client-centric approach: Help ambitious businesses thrive with pragmatic, commercially-focused legal solutions.
• Innovative work: Engage in challenging and diverse legal matters that keep you at the forefront of the industry.

About the role

• This role is designed to be virtual/remote, affording the whole team more flexibility and less time travelling.
• You’ll need to be available to start within the next few months.
• You should be an NQ or up to 2 years’ PQE with commercial experience.
• Because our clients are entrepreneurs, we specialise in the following areas where you will be supporting:
• Commercial contracts
• Data protection advice
• Brand protection advice (trademarks and copyright)
• Commercial leases
• Employment matters
• We don’t expect applicants to be well versed in all these areas, but you will need to have a willingness to learn and the motivation and drive to work hard for our clients. The role will be varied which means that for the right candidate there is lots of opportunity to grow and develop your knowledge into different areas of specialism.
• Our values mean that we offer our clients crystal clear advice that is solutions focused. Our clients love our friendly, approachable way of engaging with them, and as such, you’ll need to work well with clients. We’ll expect that you can quickly build rapport and be able to put yourself in their shoes to come up with practical solutions.
• This is a busy, full-time role and whilst as a team we value balance and encourage this every day, there will be times when you will be required to work beyond the standard working hours of 8:30am to 5pm. We operate an ‘all hands to the deck’ philosophy with the team when there are peaks in workload; we’re all in it together.
• You will report to the Senior Associate within the Legal team.
• Salary range between £35,000 to £38,000. Offered salary will be commensurate with the experience of the successful candidate.

How to apply

Interested applicants who meet the above criteria should apply and provide a copy of your CV and cover letter, explaining why you are a good fit for this role. Email [emailprotected].

As a fresh and innovative firm, we are especially keen to receive different and energetic job applicants, so please be as creative as you like!

If you are successful, we’ll require references and proof of right to work in the UK or Ireland.
