Join Our Leading Innovation Team within the global Finance & Projects Group

Are you energised by legal innovation and the power of technology to transform the client experience? Join our fast‑growing, highly ranked team working on some of the most sophisticated projects in the market. You'll help design, pitch and deliver technology‑led solutions for major clients across a broad range of practice areas including banking, funds, pensions, financial regulation and project finance.

Our Advanced Delivery team is a client focussed team. They are now seeking a talented lawyer with 5-8 years' PQE who's ready to work in multidisciplinary teams, shape new ways of delivering legal work, and build the skills of a modern, 21st‑century lawyer.

Why this role?

• Impactful work with world-class clients: Develop 21st century lawyer skills. Identify opportunities for tech‑enabled legal solutions. Work with cutting edge technology, modern platforms and data-driven approaches, with room to experiment and pilot new ideas to deliver complex, high-value projects for some of the firm's most important clients.
• Global exposure and diverse sector work: Collaborate across our international network and gain experience in a wide variety of legal areas from banking, funds and pensions to financial regulation and renewable energy.
• Influence and real impact: Work alongside leading individuals to shape the delivery of major projects. Play a central role in developing and pitching for new opportunities.
• Exceptional mentorship and growth: Work closely with partners in a highly ranked team. Get early responsibility, meaningful client interaction and genuine opportunities to build expertise.

What We're Looking For:

• A 5-8 years PQE lawyer qualified in England & Wales, Scotland or overseas, who's ready to take their expertise into the next chapter of modern legal practice.
• Be technically excellent, commercially minded, and solutions‑focused. A confident communicator who builds great relationships across different specialisms, and comfortable working directly with clients.
• Enjoy collaborating in multidisciplinary teams and bring an organised, proactive approach to leading key aspects of complex project delivery.
• A genuine interest in legal tech is key – especially in how legal and technical know‑how can be applied in new and creative ways to bring client value. Experience with financial institutions, construction, or infrastructure is a bonus, but not essential.
• You don't need to be a technologist. What matters is curiosity, a growth mindset, and a willingness to explore new ways of working.
