Are you an experienced regulatory lawyer ready to take on complex, high-profile work — while enjoying real flexibility and strong support?
We’re working with a highly regarded national law firm that’s actively growing its Business Crime & Regulatory (BC&R) team. They’re seeking a Senior Associate or Principal Associate to join them and work alongside leading partners in this specialist field.
This is a standout opportunity for someone with strong contentious regulatory experience who wants access to quality work and a genuine career pathway in a collaborative and flexible culture.
What You’ll Get in Return
A highly competitive salary and one of the best benefits packages in the market, including:
1. days’ holiday (plus bank holidays) with the ability to buy up to 8 extra days each year
2. Two annual ‘flex’ windows (January and July) to tailor your benefits
3. Birthday day off + £ gift voucher – on top of your holiday entitlement
4. Private medical insurance (discounted for children)
5. Dental cover
6. Interest-free season ticket loans
7. Staff introduction bonus scheme
8. Corporate discounts across a range of retail, travel and leisure services
9. Discounted conveyancing services
10. Professional subscription fees paid
11. Senior-level perks including health screening and permanent health insurance
Where You’ll Work
The BC&R team is based across Manchester, Birmingham, Milton Keynes, and London, and recruitment is open in any of these (or surrounding) locations. Hybrid and flexible working is absolutely part of the culture.
Who We’re Looking For
12. A solicitor or barrister with 5+ years’ PQE
13. Solid background in contentious regulatory work
14. Excellent technical ability and strong legal grounding
15. Strong client handling and interpersonal skills
16. A team player with autonomy and leadership potential
17. Backgrounds from private practice, in-house, or the Bar all welcome
The Role
You’ll support a full spectrum of contentious regulatory work, including:
18. Health & Safety
19. Environmental Law
20. Food Safety
21. Inquests
22. Product Liability / Recall
The team handles a blend of advisory and contentious matters, but this role is primarily focused on litigation and enforcement. You’ll manage your own caseload, play a key part in large-scale projects, and supervise more junior team members as part of a dynamic and supportive national team.
