Legal Counsel
2–5 PQE | Commercial
£90,000 to £110,000
London, 1 day per week in office
Heriot Brown is partnering with a FS institution to recruit a Legal Counsel for its in-house legal team.
This is an opportunity for a commercially minded lawyer to take on a varied workload, build close relationships across the business and develop their in-house career.
The role focuses on broad commercial matters, so previous pensions experience is not essential.
The opportunity
You will support the business with day-to-day commercial legal advice, taking ownership of a busy contracts workload and helping colleagues move matters forward.
Your work will include:
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a range of commercial agreements.
- Providing clear, practical advice to stakeholders across the business.
- Managing competing priorities and identifying commercial legal risks.
- Working alongside senior lawyers on wider legal matters.
About you
You will ideally have 2–5 years’ PQE, with a strong grounding in commercial contracts and an interest in a broad in-house role.
Previous in-house experience would be valuable, although the company is also open to lawyers moving from private practice, particularly those with relevant secondment or pre-qualification experience.
Attitude is especially important. You will be proactive, ambitious and keen to get involved, with the confidence to build relationships and take responsibility for your work.
Why consider it?
This role offers breadth, exposure to the business and the opportunity to develop alongside experienced legal colleagues. It would suit someone who enjoys varied commercial work and wants to make a tangible contribution to an in-house team.
