Form of work
SalaryWe’re looking for a lawyer to help our Corporate and Commercial team advise a diverse client base across a range of areas.
The team acts for a wide range of businesses, including established businesses, professional and creative partnerships, entrepreneurs, founders and start-ups involved in a variety of sectors. We have particular expertise in technology start-ups and corporate real estate, but previous experience in those areas is not essential.
This isn’t a “follow the flow chart” role. Although a core part of the role will involve corporate work such as M&A, joint ventures and fundraisings, a large part of the job will involve being flexible about your workload and your approach. Crucially, you’ll be keen to jump in and work independently as part of a busy team.
And while you’ll get the support of some of London’s top legal minds (there are 200 specialists within our walls), you’ll also have the freedom to shape the role and develop your career.
What you’re like…
- You have at least 2 years’ PQE with experience in corporate law (commercial law experience is helpful too, but not essential).
- You’re used to working – and thinking – independently.
- You’re a quick learner with good academic results.
- You enjoy working as a team with colleagues and clients alike.
- You’re happy taking on new instructions, working independently and helping to “shape” the course and structure of a matter, rather than always working from a pre-agreed structure.
- You’re actively engaged in business development, and keen to help us attract new clients and grow the team.
What we’re like
- We’re not tied to process, we’re not bound by departments or fixated on job titles at Russell-Cooke.
- Our roles are flexible. We are a team of lawyers who take a more thoughtful, more rigorous, more collaborative approach to practising law and to working with our clients.
- We do the right thing.
- We give the right advice.
Your career development

We offer competitive salaries and generous benefits.
