The business operates at scale across England, Scotland and Wales and has a well-established, collaborative in-house legal function.

- You will have day-to-day responsibility for managing a mixed caseload including:
- Consumer disputes
- Commercial and supplier disputes

- Equality Act and discrimination claims
- Regulatory and compliance-related matters
Matters will range from high-volume, lower-value claims through to complex multi-track litigation, with appropriate use of external counsel and internal support.
