About the Role
Working within a well-regarded in-house team, you will provide advice across a broad portfolio of regulatory and governance matters. You’ll play a key role in ensuring legal compliance, supporting decision-making, and advising on complex legal issues that impact strategic projects across the region.

About You
You will be a qualified solicitor, barrister or chartered legal executive entitled to practise in England and Wales. You may have a background in local government, the wider public sector, or relevant private practice experience.
We are especially keen to hear from candidates with strong employment law experience, but welcome applications from those with broader regulatory or litigation expertise and the desire to expand into other areas.
You will also bring:
* The ability to communicate complex legal advice clearly and confidently
* A flexible mindset and the willingness to work across multiple legal areas
* An interest in public sector innovation and a commitment to service excellence
* A collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively with internal and external stakeholders
