London, UK, United Kingdom Browne Jacobson Full time

French Group Advisor (Legal)


At Browne Jacobson, we’ve always worked across business and society, and this expertise sets us apart. Social and environmental impact are at the top of our business agenda. We champion fairness, make the complex simple and forge connections between clients to find creative solutions. This is how we improve outcomes for every person, community and business we serve.


With offices in Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, Exeter, London, Manchester and Nottingham, we’re a UK & I based law firm with an international reach. Our sectors include: health; real estate and construction; education; energy and infrastructure; financial services; government; insurance; manufacturing and industrials; and retail, consumer and logistics.


We nurture talent at all levels and from every background and celebrate what makes people individuals. Law needs all voices to reflect the society it serves which is why all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, social economic background or age.


We’re a Disability Confident Employer and will offer an interview to disabled applicants who best meet the minimum/essential criteria for the role.


Why is this role important and how does it fit into the team, department and wider firm?

French companies looking to set up or market their products or services in the UK can face issues due to a lack of familiarity with the English legal system. Our French group comprises of French nationals who specialise in Franco-British business transactions, advising and assisting French companies and entrepreneurs investing in the UK on English law matters.


In this role, you’ll develop your understanding of English business law to support our French client base on matters involving various areas of English business law. Your fluency in French (written and verbal) will be complemented by your extensive knowledge of the French culture and, ideally, some French legal background so as to better understand our French corporate clients’ requirements. There will also be the opportunity to attend French networking events alongside other members of the French Group and, on occasion, you may have the opportunity to travel to France (approx. 2-3 times per year).


What does the role actually involve?

  • Advising mainly French clients upon matters of English business law, (no advice being given under French law) in conjunction with specialist fee earners from other teams where relevant.
  • Undertaking legal research, advising on the implications of new statutes and regulations
  • Undertaking marketing activities including presenting seminars and contributing to pitches (as and when required)
  • Supporting the team in delivering the core principles of exceptional client service
  • Providing effective advice and guidance to the firm’s French speaking client base
  • Being able to work as part of a team both in the business services team and the firm as a whole
  • Having the ability to work on well with intermediaries and to build strong relationships with them
  • Being attentive to details and keeping up to date with legal developments


What technical skills are required for someone to be successful and enjoy the role?

  • Bilingual in both French and English. Fluency in both languages (written and verbal) is an essential requirement for this role
  • Knowledge of both French and English legal systems is desirable
  • Some inhouse training will be given dependant upon the level of experience and knowledge of English law
  • An enthusiasm for and willingness to become proficient in English business law
  • Legal drafting skills: the ability to provide clear, concise and commercially relevant advice to our French clients
  • Up-to-date knowledge of legal developments and government policy within relevant sectors


Who would be a good fit for this role?

  • As part of the French Group team, you’d be expected to have the following skills and experience:
  • The ability to provide advice, in French, to clients to a high standard and often to tight timescales
  • The ability to work as part of a team both within the French Group team, the Business Services department and the firm as a whole
  • The ability to build strong relationships with clients, colleagues and intermediaries
  • Flexible, enthusiastic, ambitious, focused, results oriented and keen to develop responsibility for running with your own caseload
  • Attention to detail and strong organisational skills
