We appreciate that everyone has diverse career aspirations and that's what sets us apart.
One of the ways in which we are responding to the dynamic nature of the legal sector is with our panel of
In-House Lawyers, GCSolutions
. We've identified secondment opportunities across a number of exceptional clients and a variety of different sectors. Our GCSolutions team are currently all working on these opportunities for short and long-term secondments and more project led initiatives. This has been a highly successful initiative and we're now looking to grow this team with commercial lawyers looking to progress down an exciting, alternative career path.
Unlike some other flexible lawyer resourcing business models, we give you the decision to work with us on a fixed-term employment basis or as a consultant . We offer a mix of remote and hybrid opportunities, are open to part-time or full-time lawyers and help to support your work-life balance. Of course, we can't forget to mention, all without the pressure of fee targets and the billable hour. You'll be an advocate for WBD and help us to further develop opportunities for growth in our business.
By working with us on an fixed-term
employment basis , we'll remove some of the risk for you by offering a series of employed contracts within our business and a salary. You'll be fully integrated into WBD so this not only means you have access to our rewards and benefits but also our development programmes and support from our wider commercial team.
If you're looking to work with us on a consultancy or contractor basis , you'll be on a competitive day rate, without the ties. You'll be working with us on a non-exclusive agreement with a say in which types of high quality secondments you'd like to take on.
What are we looking for?
We are particularly keen to hear from lawyers with banking, insurance and general finance expertise, along with people who have worked in the energy, infrastructure and construction industries and those with company secretarial and public sector experience.
You'll have had exposure to quality commercial work and can add value though providing quality advice and sector insight. You may currently work within an in-house legal team or perhaps for a large, regional or city firm with some secondment experience. What's important to us is that you have a thorough understanding of the risk and financial reporting obligations that comes with working in-house. You'll be directly advising the business you're seconded to, reporting to GCs and senior management alike, so your ability to build and maintain stakeholder relationships is important to the team's success.
What makes it great to work here?
We continuallywork hard to create an open culturethatsetsusapart from other firms.Ourculture givesusmuch more of a humanfeel,emphasisingthatwe're more than just suits!
As signatoriesto the Mindful Business Charter, it's important to usthatourpeople are able to maintain healthy and happy lives, both in and out of work. We have a number of resources andinitiativesdesigned tosupporthealth and wellbeing and we're very happy to talk flexible working, full-time or part-time working patterns.

We have an Diversity, Equity and InclusionGroup, led by ourBoard Sponsor, which workswithourcolleague networks (we currently have firm supported networks for race, ethnicity, and cultural heritage, LGBTQ+, disabilities, families, and women's career development and we're in constantdialoguewithourpeople about how we expandournetworks to bettersupporteverybody).
