We offer clients a range of fixed-fee legal packages covering everything that small businesses and startups need – company set up, contract review and negotiation, employment, capital raising and data protection. We run our business like a tech startup, with user experience, creativity and lean thinking at the core of our culture.
Key Experience
We are looking for lawyers with around 2-4 years PQE within general commercial law, either having worked in private practice or in-house environments.
The key legal experience we are looking for is commercial contract drafting and review. In addition to general commercial law experience, experience in the following areas will be looked on favourably:
Corporate law, including startup capital raising or M&A
Employment law
Technology law
Note: We are a legal consultancy, not a regulated law firm. This means we can only provide services in specific areas of practice and do not handle disputes or litigation. However, this also allows us to consider a broader range of candidates for this role.
Since we can hire employees with international legal qualifications, UK qualifications are highly valued but not essential. Additionally, while experience within UK firms is a strong advantage, we also welcome applicants with experience in other common law jurisdictions.

We also allow working at flexible times of day, so you can fit your work around your personal schedule.
For us it’s more than just taking your laptop home - we know that it takes effective project management, communication and transparent accountability to make flexible arrangements work. We provide allowances for work from home equipment and coworking space access to help make this work.
We also have a range of benefits available to support your wellbeing. These include generous sick leave policies, company health insurance benefits and more.
