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.
