A qualified lawyer with 3 years +post-qualification experience either in private practice or in house

What you’ll get in return is:

25 days’ annual leave, rising to 30 days with each year of service.

Generous family leave policies.

A range of optional benefits such as discounted gym membership and a cycle-to-work scheme.

At Scott Logic, we value the flexibility of remote working alongside the value gained from spending time with our colleagues and clients. In our offices you’ll find employee-led clubs and events, as well as free games, books, and refreshments.

We have shared values that govern our behaviour toward others and the environment. We are proud to be a B Corp, a global movement of businesses driving for a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.
