Consumer Regulatory | Senior Associate – Legal Director | London | International Law Firm
There aren’t many consumer regulatory teams where you can join at Senior Associate level and have a genuinely clear route through to Directorship (with potential partnership thereafter) while working on some of the biggest names in the consumer and retail space.
This opportunity is with a leading international law firm that is looking to strengthen its consumer regulatory practice, led by a very highly regarded partner in the market (who you would work closely with).
The team advises household-name businesses across retail, FMCG, food, hospitality and wider consumer sectors, on regulatory issues that are rarely straightforward - and rarely stay still for long.
The work spans:
- Product safety and product recalls
- Advertising and marketing claims
- Product standards and labelling
- Cross-border regulatory issues
- Modern slavery
- Chemical regulation
- Advisory and contentious regulatory matters
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It’s a fast-moving area, with UK and European regulation continually evolving, so this is a role for someone who enjoys being close to the detail while also understanding the commercial impact for clients.
Who are they looking for?
The sweet spot is a Senior Associate, but they’re open-minded on level.
That could mean:
- An experienced Senior Associate looking for a Legal Director opportunity now, or in the near future.
- An Associate around 4–5 PQE who is ready to step up to Senior Associate
- Someone from a broader commercial, regulatory, health & safety or product regulatory background, provided there is meaningful product/consumer safety experience.
The team would particularly suit someone coming from a recognised regulatory or consumer practice... However, they are much more interested in the substance of your experience than coming from a particular firm name.
You’ll work closely with the partners leading the practice, have genuine responsibility for matters and clients, and play a key role between the senior leadership and more junior lawyers in the team.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
For someone joining at Legal Director level, there is a real platform to build a business case for partnership.
There is a very strong internal promotion culture, with clear examples of people progressing from Senior Associate to Director and then into partnership in very reasonable timeframes.
And perhaps most importantly, this is a team that genuinely seems to enjoy working together.
A modern, characterful office, a collaborative environment and a practice that is investing in its next stage of growth.
If you’re a consumer/product regulatory lawyer and the prospect of building your profile within a recognised specialist practice appeals, I’d be very happy to have a confidential conversation.
Apply now, or feel free to DM me to arrange a time to speak and learn more about this role.
