Legal Counsel Jobs in United Kingdom

-

If you’re an in-house lawyer or a solicitor looking to move in-house, this is the place to start. This page lists current Legal Counsel roles from companies across the UK — from fast-growing tech scale-ups to global multinationals.

We update listings daily, so whether you’re seeking your first in-house position or looking for your next step as Legal Counsel or Senior Legal Counsel you’ll find relevant roles here.

What types of legal counsel roles are listed?

Job titles vary — some companies use Legal Counsel, others use In-House Counsel, Corporate Counsel, or In-House Solicitor. You’ll find all of these roles here. Most positions are for lawyers with UK qualifications (often solicitors with a commercial, corporate, tech, or regulatory background), though some companies are open to candidates qualified in other jurisdictions.

You’ll find roles at a variety of levels:

  • Newly qualified (NQ) or 1–3 PQE roles
  • Mid-level legal counsel positions
  • Senior legal counsel jobs
  • Legal counsel maternity covers and fixed-term contracts

Remote, hybrid, and location-based jobs

Many of the companies hiring for in-house counsel roles now offer hybrid working as standard — and some are fully remote. You’ll also find location-specific jobs in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and across the UK. If you're looking for a General Counsel or Head of Legal role, visit our General Counsel Jobs page.
