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.
You will work closely with senior stakeholders, taking ownership of negotiations and providing pragmatic, commercially focused advice across a fast-paced business, with exposure to areas including advertising, retail, digital, procurement and emerging technology.
The ideal candidate will be:
- A 6+ PQE lawyer, trained at a leading private practice firm, with a strong commercial contracts background.
- Ideally with prior in-house experience, although this is not essential.
- Experienced in drafting and negotiating a broad range of commercial agreements under English law.
- Comfortable advising sophisticated internal stakeholders and managing matters with a high degree of autonomy.
