Project Manager / Business Analyst
A leading firm is looking to appoint a junior Project Manager or Business Analyst to support the delivery of a large-scale commercial contracts project for a major client.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with a commercial contracts, corporate or wider legal project background who enjoys bringing structure to high-volume workstreams, keeping stakeholders aligned, and helping a project run smoothly from set-up through to delivery.
The role will support a senior lawyer and technology team on a live project involving the creation and management of a significant volume of supplier notices following a business sale. It sits at the intersection of legal delivery, project management, data handling and process improvement.
The successful person will help with project set-up, review and organise client data, coordinate internal and external communications, keep trackers and process documents up to date, and work closely with the technology team on workflow tools, template creation, outreach and automation. Once the project is live, they will help manage the central inbox, monitor progress across a large volume of live matters, coordinate chasers and e-signature activity, escalate negotiations where needed, and support client reporting.
This role would suit someone who is organised, proactive and calm under pressure, with experience of large-scale projects and an interest in legal operations, contracts work or tech-enabled delivery. You will need strong attention to detail, confidence in dealing with stakeholders, and the ability to keep multiple moving parts on track.
Experience in a commercial or corporate legal environment would be highly beneficial, as would previous exposure to process-driven contract projects, legal technology platforms, data-heavy workstreams or client-facing delivery.
This is a full-time, six-month contract role with remote working.

Risk & Compliance Lawyer
A leading international law firm is looking to hire a Risk & Compliance Lawyer into its London Office of General Counsel.
This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified lawyer with at least two years' post-qualification fee-earning experience to move into, or further develop within, a broad in-house risk and compliance role. The position would suit someone coming from a global law firm environment who is looking for a move away from fee earning into a role that offers a strong mix of regulatory compliance, professional ethics, data privacy and internal advisory work.
Working closely with the Deputy General Counsel and wider OGC team, you will advise on matters including SRA Standards and Regulations, firm policies, professional ethics, GDPR and wider data protection issues. The role will also involve reviewing and updating internal policies and guidance, assisting with compliance processes and regulatory filings, supporting data privacy projects and international data transfers, advising on client and supplier documentation including NDAs and data processing agreements, and contributing to training, horizon-scanning and knowledge management across the function.
This is a varied and visible position requiring strong communication skills, sound judgement, discretion and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced international environment. Risk and compliance experience would be advantageous, but it is not essential. The firm is open to lawyers currently in fee-earning roles who can clearly demonstrate an interest in this area and the transferable skills needed to succeed.
Applicants should be qualified solicitors in England & Wales, or qualified in another jurisdiction and willing to qualify in England & Wales, with a minimum of two years' experience gained in a global law firm. You will need excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail, a collaborative approach and the confidence to work with senior stakeholders across an international business.
This is a rare opportunity to join a highly regarded firm in a role that offers breadth, quality and a genuine long-term alternative to private practice.
