London, Greater London, United Kingdom BBC Full time

Job Introduction

We are recruiting for an experienced Paralegal to join our small, friendly Competition and Regulatory Law team. This is a twelve month fixed term contract role, running to early June 2025 and is based in London. The team has a hybrid work pattern with two days in the office and three working from home.

The Competition and Regulatory Law team work closely with the BBC's Policy and Strategy teams, the BBC's content division (for example BBC Sport), as well as the BBC's commercial arm BBC Studios. We provide advice on general competition law, subsidy control and broadcast regulatory and compliance matters, as well as advising on the BBC's regulatory framework under the Royal Charter and Framework Agreement.

Our overall structure is similar to that found in private practice firms and we support on a wide range of diverse matters.
