This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified Solicitor to join a business as it enters its growth phase and to be able to work autonomously as the first legal hire with the support of external solicitors. Our client is ideally looking for candidates that have private practice / in-house experience so apply NOW to ensure you do not miss this new opportunity
