Our client is an innovative law firm, based in London, dedicated to servicing entrepreneurial clients to include start-ups and SMEs. They pride themselves on their 'people first' approach and their recently obtained B-Corp status. The firm is currently looking to secure an experienced corporate Lawyer with upwards of 5 years' PQE, for a 9-12-month FTC, to cover a period of leave within the team.
