The ideal lawyer (solicitor/barrister/CILEX) will enjoy working within a close knit and collaborative legal team, all working from home and enjoying a fantastic work/life balance.

You will be a confident lawyer with excellent communication and negotiation skills and a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach. You should be able to quickly gain credibility and buy in from stakeholders at all levels across a multidisciplinary organisation. You should also have an interest in environmental matters.

On top of the basic salary (a budget to £55,000 per annum is available) and excellent benefits package (including pension to 10%, holidays rising to 30 days with service and two x paid CSR days), you will benefit from a collegiate and remote working environment (the team will have non-obligatory face-to-face team meetings each year plus optional meet ups on day one for new team members in their home city).
