About the Firm

The firm has entered a seriously ambitious period of their growth, with the aim to double revenue over the next five years.

The firm operates with a unique blend of services tailored to meet client needs with a distinctive culture marked by agility, expertise, and close-knit teamwork.

The team has seen significant growth in recent years and is going to continue to provide fantastic opportunities for career growth.


The Role

The chosen risk lawyer will collaborate with the risk team to support the director of risk in ensuring the firm’s compliance with legal and regulatory standards. Key responsibilities will include managing and overseeing commercial contracts with suppliers, legal analysis, drafting and negotiation, and data protection compliance.
