Sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you weren't actively looking for.
If you're a commercial solicitor and generally happy where you are, but would love more variety, more influence, or the chance to see the real impact of your advice, we'd love to have a conversation.
At WPA , we're looking for an In-House Legal Counsel (around 3-5 PQE) to join our Legal team in Taunton.
What makes this role different?
You'll be joining a business where Legal is genuinely valued. You'll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, helping shape decisions, support strategic projects, develop products and services, and build strong commercial relationships. In short, you'll be involved in the conversations that matter.
Whether you're considering your first move in-house or you're already working in-house and looking for broader exposure, this is a role where you'll have the opportunity to learn, grow and make a visible contribution from day one.
What you'll find at WPA:
✅ Interesting, varied work that goes beyond contract review
✅ A supportive and collaborative team
✅ The chance to build strong relationships across the business
✅ Real ownership and responsibility
✅ Competitive salary, bonus and excellent benefits
✅ A people-focused culture that's true to its values
Most importantly, you'll be joining an organisation that's built on treating people as we would wish to be treated ourselves. It's a principle that shapes how we work with our customers and with each other.
So, if you're curious, even if you're not actively job hunting, we'd be delighted to hear from you for an informal and confidential chat.
