Solicitor

Solicitor
We’re looking for an experienced
civil litigator to join our small (but mighty)
in-house team at Fish Legal. We use the law
to fight pollution and other damage
or threats to the water environment.

You’ll work closely with our Head of Practice to provide a responsive, practical, cost-effective service taking civil action on behalf of angler members regarding damage to fisheries. This is a permanent, full time, remote role that suits a solicitor who’d like to work in an intellectually challenging environment alongside a very passionate and supportive team—although our casework can be demanding, we’re flexible and family-friendly.

Who we are

Fish Legal is a not-for-profit membership association which promotes and encourages the conservation and sustainable management of UK rivers, lakes, and other freshwater bodies, estuarine and coastal waters, and the role of angling within these.

This is an exciting opportunity for you to join a very experienced team of solicitors who are driven by mission rather than profit—we’re an NGO, not a commercial law firm.

Want to join us?

We believe a diversity of backgrounds, experience, and opinions builds the strongest team, so we encourage those from under-represented groups to apply. Email our HR Manager, Mattelynn Romano, at people@fishlegal.net to apply directly or to arrange an informal chat about the role. When applying, include your detailed CV and a covering letter with a bit more about why you want to work for us and how you might be just what we’ve been looking for—and if you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you. Please only apply if you have the right to work in the UK.
