The Role
Lawyerly is a commercial law firm providing subscription and fixed-fee legal services to small and medium-sized businesses. Our clients treat us as their in-house legal team, and we act for them across the full range of their commercial needs. We do not bill by the hour, so there are no timesheets and no billable-hour targets.
We are looking for a solicitor to join us on a three-month fixed-term contract, starting as soon as possible. You will run your own client matters from the outset, working closely with a small team. The role would suit someone with sound judgement and a practical approach who can take on a varied caseload quickly.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
