Legal Team Manager

Liberty is looking for a creative and strategic lawyer to join its legal team as a legal team manager.  Strategic litigation is core to Liberty’s work.  Our lawyers work closely with the rest of the organisation using casework and legal advice to help Liberty reach its strategic goals. You will be responsible for running a small caseload of strategic litigation, conducting interventions and providing specialist human rights advice.  A large part of the role is identifying and then scoping potential cases, working closely with other organisations to develop the litigation in a collaborative and creative way. 

In addition to your legal work, you will line manage another lawyer in the team, one of our paralegals and our legal information officer, who leads Liberty’s legal education work.  The management of the team as a whole will be shared between the Head of Legal, the current legal team manager and you. If you are interested in a job that involves innovative legal work in the NGO sector, we would like to hear from you.

Liberty fully embraces flexible working and is committed to employee development. We aim to encourage people from all backgrounds to work with us and are particularly interested in hearing from people from minority backgrounds and all socio-economic sections of society. Liberty supports hybrid working, with a minimum office attendance two days per week in the Westminster office.
