About The Job
Games Workshop is recruiting a commercially astute, qualified solicitor with the passion and drive to provide outstanding legal support and pragmatic advice to safeguard Games Workshop’s interests. This is a varied role where you’ll work closely with teams across the business, leading and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts both in the UK and internationally. We’re looking for someone confident working independently, as you’ll be a trusted partner to teams across Games Workshop, building strong relationships and offering clear, practical legal support that helps us move forward without unnecessary obstacles.

You’ll be approachable and down-to-earth, able to explain complex legal ideas in plain English and adapt your style to suit whoever you’re working with. In doing so, you’ll be supporting the business to make confident, well-informed decisions. To be successful, you will have strong commercial experience, with pragmatism to reduce risk, operate at pace, and adapt within a changing business environment. If you’re a talented professional with an excellent understanding of current commercial law, who values consistency and high-quality, accurate work, we want you on our team.
