We appreciate that everyone has diverse career aspirations, and that's what sets us apart.
One way we respond to the dynamic legal sector is through our In-House Lawyers, GCSolutions panel. We have identified secondment opportunities across various exceptional clients and sectors. Our GCSolutions team is actively working on these opportunities for short and long-term secondments and project-led initiatives. This successful initiative is now expanding to include more commercial lawyers seeking an exciting, alternative career path.
Unlike some flexible lawyer resourcing models, we allow you to choose to work with us on a fixed-term employment basis or as a consultant. We offer a mix of remote and hybrid opportunities, are open to part-time or full-time arrangements, and support your work-life balance. Importantly, there are no fee targets or billable hour pressures. You'll advocate for WBD and help develop growth opportunities for our business.
Working with us on a fixed-term employment basis provides security through employed contracts and a salary. You'll be fully integrated into WBD, gaining access to our rewards, benefits, development programs, and support from our wider commercial team.
If you prefer a consultancy or contractor basis, you'll receive a competitive day rate, working on a non-exclusive agreement with input on the types of high-quality secondments you'd like to undertake.
What are we looking for?
We are particularly interested in lawyers with expertise in banking, insurance, general finance, energy, infrastructure, construction, company secretarial, or public sector experience.
You should have experience in quality commercial work, providing valuable advice and sector insight. Whether you work within an in-house legal team or at a large, regional, or city firm with secondment experience, a thorough understanding of in-house risk and financial reporting obligations is essential. You will advise the business directly, reporting to GCs and senior management. Strong stakeholder relationship skills are vital for success.
What makes it great to work here?
We strive to create an open culture that sets us apart. Our culture fosters a human feel, emphasizing that we're more than just suits!
As signatories to the Mindful Business Charter, we prioritize health and wellbeing, offering resources and initiatives to support a healthy work-life balance. We are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements, including full-time or part-time patterns.
Our DEI initiatives foster an environment where differences are valued. Led by our Board Sponsor, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Group works with various colleague networks (for race, ethnicity, cultural heritage, LGBTQ+, disabilities, families, and women's career development). We continually engage with our people to expand these networks and better support everyone. Find out more about ED&I at WBD here. We welcome applicants from all social backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
We are committed to an inclusive, accessible recruitment process. If you have a disability or long-term condition requiring adjustments, please contact the recruiter on the right side of this page.
