Our Legal Business Analyst (LBA) program in London presents an outstanding opportunity for career development, offering comprehensive exposure to different areas of legal practice, and fostering professional development. As a Legal Business Analyst, you will rotate across fee-earning, effective-working, and business development roles, providing crucial support to associates, partners, and other business professionals within the firm. Your role will encompass a wide range of responsibilities aimed at ensuring the efficient operation of our legal practice and delivering high-quality services to our clients. You must be a final year university student or graduate who can begin employment on September 15th, 2026.
"The legal rotation is a rollercoaster. I've assisted on a variety of transactions, from startup seed investments to larger merger and acquisition deals. I've managed data rooms, prepared due diligence reports, drafted transaction and investment documents, and prepared corporate ancillaries. My secondment at a leading renewable energy company deserves a shout-out, as I experienced firsthand the influence of legal advice on business decisions and commercial priorities, which don't always align. My favorite everyday learnings are the differences between advising founders or GCs and advising larger deals. While the client contact and responsibility vary, gaining exposure to both is a fast track to becoming the next generation of lawyers - versatile and adaptable."
"This role definitely keeps me on my toes. I might start the day with a tidy to-do list, but the end of the day could look very different. But that's part of the fun! It's a super-fast-paced role and it's important to be able to adapt to unexpected requests and to shift priorities. I've been fortunate to get a great sense of business strategy. I get to create pitch decks to bring on clients, help devise the office PR plan, assist the office managing partner in creating the office business plan and produce monthly reports on the office’s performance across the business plan objectives."
Natalie Thomas, Legal Business Analyst
There's been plenty of business development work. I've attended meetings and pitches with leading investment firms, decision-makers at top universities, and dynamic founders, gaining invaluable experience working directly with partners. Research is a big part of this rotation, constantly exploring innovative founders, investors, and market trends, which enhances my commercial awareness. Helping to organize our health and wellness event for industry leaders has been another highlight, as it's an area of personal interest.
