Step into a Global Business. Make a Local Impact.

Are you a recently qualified solicitor looking to take your first step in-house, or a junior lawyer ready for your next challenge? This is your chance to join a global company’s high-performing legal team, right in the heart of Newcastle.

We’re looking for a bright, motivated solicitor (NQ to 3 years PQE) who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and support a wide variety of commercial legal matters in a business that’s going places.

What You’ll Do:

No two days will be the same. You’ll be providing hands-on legal support across the business with a focus on:

• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts.
• Advising on day-to-day legal issues including claims, debt recovery, and general business matters.
• Working closely with internal stakeholders to ensure legal risks are identified and managed effectively.
• Supporting your teammates on wider legal initiatives and cross-regional projects.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re after someone proactive, practical, and ready to learn. Ideal candidates will have:

• 0-3 years PQE with strong grounding in commercial law.
• Experience gained in private practice or in-house (in a commercial or construction setting is a plus!).
• A sharp analytical mind and a calm, solutions-focused approach.
• Confidence communicating with people at all levels of a business.
• The ability to juggle multiple tasks and deadlines without missing a beat.

Why This Role?

You’ll be part of a small, agile legal team with a genuinely collaborative culture. This is a chance to build your in-house career in a business that operates on a global scale without losing the friendly feel of a local team.
