Senior Consumer Regulatory Solicitor

Consumer Regulatory | Senior Associate – Legal Director | London | International Law Firm There aren't many consumer regulatory teams where you can join at Senior Associate level and have a genuinely clear route through to Directorship (with potential partnership thereafter) while working on some of the biggest names in the consumer and retail space. This opportunity is with a leading international law firm that is looking to strengthen its consumer regulatory practice, led by a very highly regarded partner in the market (who you would work closely with). The team advises household-name businesses across retail, FMCG, food, hospitality and wider consumer sectors, on regulatory issues that are rarely straightforward - and rarely stay still for long. The work spans:

• Product safety and product recalls
• Advertising and marketing claims
• Product standards and labelling
• Cross-border regulatory issues
• Modern slavery
• Chemical regulation
• Advisory and contentious regulatory matters It's a fast-moving area, with UK and European regulation continually evolving, so this is a role for someone who enjoys being close to the detail while also understanding the commercial impact for clients. Who are they looking for? The sweet spot is a Senior Associate, but they're open-minded on level. That could mean: → An experienced Senior Associate looking for a Legal Director opportunity now, or in the near future. → An Associate around 4–5 PQE who is ready to step up to Senior Associate → Someone from a broader commercial, regulatory, health & safety or product regulatory background, provided there is meaningful product/consumer safety experience. The team would particularly suit someone coming from a recognised regulatory or consumer practice... However, they are much more interested in the substance of your experience than coming from a particular firm name. You'll work closely with the partners leading the practice, have genuine responsibility for matters and clients, and play a key role between the senior leadership and more junior lawyers in the team. For someone joining at Legal Director level, there is a real platform to build a business case for partnership. There is a very strong internal promotion culture, with clear examples of people progressing from Senior Associate to Director and then into partnership in very reasonable timeframes. And perhaps most importantly, this is a team that genuinely seems to enjoy working together. A modern, characterful office, a collaborative environment and a practice that is investing in its next stage of growth. If you're a consumer/product regulatory lawyer and the prospect of building your profile within a recognised specialist practice appeals, I'd be very happy to have a confidential conversation.
