• You’ll aid client development through producing publications, bespoke client training and proactively considering other innovative ways to use know‑how to add value to client relationships.
• You’ll work collaboratively with L&D to provide legal training to fee earners across the firm.
• You’ll also provide individual lawyer support to give second opinions and identify case law.
• You’ll work closely with the Innovation team to identify new technologies and efficiencies for the firm.
• You’ll build effective internal and external relationships, establishing credibility as a subject‑matter expert and driving best practice across the business.

What we are looking for:

• A qualified solicitor who is registered with the Law Society of England and Wales, with at least 3‑years PQE.
• Experience working with legal innovation and legal technology.
• Ability to deliver engaging training sessions and proactively support lawyers across the firm.
• A proven track record of ensuring the provision of a high standard of client service with good file and case management.
• The ability to demonstrate sound commercial awareness and an understanding of clients' businesses.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary reflective of your experience.
• Our annual bonus scheme recognises outstanding contributions to the firm and our ambitions. All colleagues are eligible for up to 10% bonus subject to meeting the criteria of the scheme.
• Minimum of 25 days annual leave, plus Bank Holidays per year, with the opportunity to buy/sell up to five days per year.
• Hybrid working with a minimum of 40% of your time spent in the office.
• Auto‑enrolled into the workplace pension scheme, and we’ll contribute a minimum of 6% of your salary.
