Your new company
An exciting new job has arisen for a Senior Commercial lawyer to join my Financial Services client's impressive in-house legal function in Bristol. This wide-ranging role will form part of a wider team based in Bristol and a number of other offices across the UK and the role holder will lead on complex commercial matters providing quality and timely legal support and advice.

Your new role
