  • You will be a qualified solicitor in England and Wales with a minimum of 6 years of post-qualification experience in advising charities and social enterprises, particularly concerning commercial agreements, intellectual property, charity fundraising, and corporate transactions.
  • You will have a proven track record of leading matters with minimal oversight, taking ownership of daily client interactions, project management, and matter oversight.
  • A passion for business development and a demonstrable history of contributing to practice growth is essential.
  • You are committed to client service, fostering strong relationships, and eager to expand your practice through business development opportunities in the purpose-driven and impact sectors.
  • Your values align with those of the firm, and you are dedicated to making a positive difference.

Key Duties

  • Deliver high-quality legal and strategic advice to clients.
  • Uphold exceptional standards of client service through effective relationship and matter management.
  • Continue to enhance your expertise to provide practical guidance and elevate your profile within the firm.
  • Identify and pursue business development opportunities.
  • Maintain awareness and adaptability to respond effectively to market dynamics.

Firm Culture

  • As a values-driven organization, the firm is committed to its clients, employees, the environment, and society, considering the Climate Emergency and Biodiversity Crisis in its strategic planning.
  • The firm prioritizes the well-being of its employees, recognizing them as its greatest asset, and aims to positively impact others. Purpose is integral to the firm's ethos.
  • Promoting a strong work/life balance, the firm offers a minimum of 25 days of vacation, with options to purchase additional days and an early finish during summer.
  • The firm supports an agile and hybrid working environment, allowing flexibility in work arrangements.
  • Comprehensive benefits and wellness packages include matching pension contributions, private medical insurance, discretionary bonuses, life assurance, subsidized gym memberships, lifestyle discounts, and a profit-sharing scheme.

Clients include well-known charities, social enterprises, purpose-driven businesses, corporations, governmental bodies, and public institutions, ranging from grassroots organizations to large national and international entities.

The diverse nature of the practice offers a stimulating mix of complex and routine advisory work.

Opportunity Highlights

  • The firm encourages all lawyers to pursue personal interests within their practice, develop management skills through mentoring junior staff, engage in business development, and collaborate across various strong sector groups.
  • Lawyers receive career development support, including opportunities to co-manage client relationships with partners, mentor newly qualified lawyers, and contribute to departmental strategy development.
