Senior Legal Adviser

2 weeks ago


Northallerton, United Kingdom OFFICE OF RAIL AND ROAD Full time

We are looking for two Senior Legal Advisers to join ORR's Legal Services team, responsible for advising across ORR’s regulatory functions. We do not expect applicants to have existing expertise in all areas of ORR’s work but you must be willing to advise on a wide range of matters in relation to both our economic and safety functions. This role offers the opportunity to enjoy a varied and stimulating case load, whilst participating in shaping the policies of our organisation.

You will support the management and resilience of the legal team by working constructively with other team members and contributing to the leadership of the team and the organisation.

Your key responsibilities, although not exhaustive, will include:

  • understand all ORR’s regulatory functions and have an in-depth understanding of ORR’s policy and strategic objectives and how significant issues could impact on these, particularly in your practice areas;
  • provide timely and high quality legal advice to colleagues on a wide range of issues in your practice areas, both in respect of discrete requests for legal assistance and on larger matters;
  • manage, with minimal supervision, your own caseload and work collaboratively with others on larger matters;
  • highlight to senior colleagues, drawing on a deep understanding of commercial and policy issues, any significant legal risks particularly in your practice areas on a timely basis and develop solutions to manage these;
  • proactively liaise with legal teams/advisers of stakeholders and other government departments/regulators as appropriate;
  • lead in managing relationships with legal panel firms and legal counsel as required, and where work is outsourced, to ensure the provision of high quality and cost effective legal advice;
  • assist the Deputy Director, General Counsel and other legal colleagues in ensuring that ORR has first class legal advice to support delivery of its corporate strategy and business plan; and
  • supervise more junior members of the team to ensure successful delivery of the Directorate’s outputs. There may also be the opportunity to line manage a junior lawyer, although this cannot be guaranteed.

Please note that these positions can be based in any of our locations: London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, York, Glasgow.
