Legal Consultant - Planning

You’re a talented, confident lawyer seeking your next challenge. You want to work on challenging legal projects but you want to do it on your own terms. You’re seeking an opportunity which will allow you to grow as a professional, but not encroach on your life outside of work. We hear you.

Flexible Services from Pinsent Masons Vario provides freelance legal professionals access to high-quality legal work with our firm and prestigious clients in a fully flexible way.

Our growing but exclusive bench of legal experts have a variety of skills, specialisms and experience but they all enjoy quality legal projects best suited to their skillset and unparalleled support during their assignments.

We are now looking to expand our bench with an exceptional Lawyer with broad ranging Planning experience and able to demonstrate the following:

Qualified lawyer (8+ PQE) with a strong academic background Experience gained within a leading law firm or equivalent global in-house/secondment experience Experience in the utilities and/or energy sector would be a bonus, although not essential Flexible, communicative and adaptable Enthusiastic about embracing new work cultures Rapidly develop close, trusting relationships

By joining the Vario Flexible Services bench, you not only join our community of like-minded but diverse flexible professionals, but you’re also joining the wider international firm of Pinsent Masons. In addition to the dedicated support you’ll receive from our Vario Account Management Team, you’ll benefit from access to our partners and client relationship teams, professional development lawyers, library services and other firm resources.

Work you will receive will come in the form of exciting short-term assignments, either from our multi-national clients or from internally within the firm, working alongside our Pinsent Masons colleagues. Assignments vary in scope and seniority but typically last at least six months and can suit those looking to work full-time, part-time or an hourly basis. Our assignments are either performed hybrid or remotely and with a client base that is UK wide, we would welcome applications from lawyers across the UK.

If this opportunity sounds like a challenge you are confident in tackling and an environment you would thrive in, we’d love to hear from you and introduce you to your new career as a Vario flexible professional. Please feel free to contact our Accounts team or apply today for us to follow up with you.
