Job Description:
We’re working with a global leader in manufacturing and infrastructure on a fantastic opportunity for a junior lawyer to join their high-performing in-house legal team. This role offers broad exposure to a wide range of commercial and compliance matters across a complex, international business - ideal for someone seeking variety and career development within a well-established, supportive environment.
This is a true generalist in-house role, offering a high level of autonomy and visibility across the business. Reporting into senior legal stakeholders, you’ll provide day-to-day legal and compliance support across the organisation’s UK and EMEA operations.
Key responsibilities include:
* Drafting and negotiating a wide range of contracts: manufacturing, sales, distribution, procurement, and project-related agreements
* Advising on day-to-day legal queries across commercial operations and supporting internal stakeholders with practical, risk-aware guidance
* Supporting ethics and compliance initiatives - internal investigations, training, policy development, anti-bribery and corruption
* Advising on regulatory and operational risk, including competition law, trade compliance, and data protection
* Managing external counsel where required
* Helping to develop and improve internal legal processes and contract templates
About You:
* Qualified solicitor in England & Wales (or equivalent jurisdiction). Up to 4 years PQE. NQ's will be considered, including those due to qualify in September 2025.
* Strong grounding in commercial contracts and general corporate/commercial law, gained either in private practice or in-house
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships with stakeholders at all levels
* Comfortable juggling a varied workload and operating in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
* A commercial, pragmatic mindset - someone who enjoys solving problems and enabling business goals
* Prior experience in manufacturing, infrastructure, engineering, or industrial sectors would be helpful, but is not essential
Why Apply?
This is an outstanding opportunity for a junior lawyer looking to broaden their in-house experience. The role offers:
* Breadth – A genuinely diverse mix of commercial and compliance work
* Development – Ongoing mentoring from senior lawyers and exposure to international legal matters
* Stability & Scale – Join a highly respected global organisation with a strong market position
* Culture – Down-to-earth, collaborative legal team where your input will be valued
If you’re a commercially minded junior lawyer looking for a broad and rewarding in-house legal role, we’d love to hear from you. Please submit your CV via the apply button.
