Job description

Overview

Elevate is seeking a mid-level Commercial or Corporate Solicitor (5-8 years PQE) to join the engine room of one of Europe’s most recognisable and dominant aviation brands. You will advise on high-stakes, cross-border projects that define the future of international travel.

We are looking for a professional who values tenure and deep institutional impact. If you have a track record of stability and are looking for a long-term "home" where you can own a complex, asset-heavy portfolio, this is your next career chapter.

Location: The role is based at a major North London transport hub, strategically located just 25 minutes from St Pancras International via fast-link rail.

• Hybrid Model: A fixed 2-day in-office schedule ensures meaningful collaboration while respecting your time.
• Why here? You get "City-level" work complexity and brand prestige without the daily Central London grind.

Qualifications

• Qualified Solicitor: 5–8 years PQE in a Tier-1 law firm or a major in-house environment.
• Industry Fit: Experience in asset-intensive sectors (Aviation, Infrastructure, Engineering, or Transport).
• Proven Stability: A career history that demonstrates tenure stability is highly prioritised.
• Technical Edge: Comfortable using technology and data to solve complex commercial problems.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Growth: Lead legal support for fleet transactions, aircraft financing, and property portfolio management.
• Commercial Power: Negotiate complex supplier agreements and procurement contracts for a multi-billion-pound operation.
• Innovation: Drive the adoption of AI and legal-tech automation to streamline global processes.
