Why this role?
• You’ll be central to how the Corporate group functions, balancing the needs of the business with the development goals of its lawyers.
• You’ll shape resourcing, advise on progression, oversee performance reviews, and work on training and wellbeing initiatives.
• You’ll collaborate with senior stakeholders, influence decision-making, and be trusted to handle complex, people-driven issues with authority and empathy.
What we’re looking for:
• A qualified lawyer (5+ PQE) with experience in a Corporate or transactional team
• Someone who can hold their own with senior partners and calmly manage difficult conversations
• Someone proactive, strategic, and invested in mentoring, development, and the human side of law
• Ideally, you’ll have worked in a fast-paced, international firm and understand the demands of the environment
