About You

We are looking for a UK qualified solicitor with 7-10 years of post-qualification experience, possessing a blended background of private practice and in-house experience. Experience in logistics, distribution, or Retail/FMCG is essential. You will require experience in M&A and commercial contracts, ideally across EMEA markets. You must be happy to balance being strategic with the hands-on nature of a first legal hire position.
