Job description

The Role

As a Policy Adviser, you will lead on policy development in technology law and legal technology adoption, while supporting a broader range of private law issues including conveyancing, private client, employment, company law, intellectual property, climate change, planning, and matters affecting members' businesses. You will monitor legislative and policy developments, identify opportunities for law reform, and develop evidence-based policy positions that support the Law Society's strategic objectives.

Working closely with internal and external stakeholders, you will draft consultation responses, guidance, practice notes, policy papers, briefings, and inquiry submissions. You will represent the Law Society with government, policymakers, and partner organisations, advocating for the profession and helping to shape policy decisions. You will also contribute to member engagement initiatives, cross-organisational projects, and the wider Policy Team's work programme.

What we're looking for

We are looking for a strong policy professional with an interest in technology, innovation, and the legal sector. You will have experience analysing complex policy and legislative issues, developing practical policy solutions, and producing high-quality written materials for a variety of audiences.

You will be a confident communicator with excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to build effective relationships across a wide range of groups. The successful candidate will be proactive, collaborative, and adaptable, with the ability to manage competing priorities and contribute across a diverse policy portfolio. A commitment to supporting the legal profession, improving access to justice, and delivering positive public policy outcomes is essential.

What's in it for you

This is an excellent opportunity to work with contemporary thinkers in a progressive membership organisation. The successful candidate will join a strong brand with a reputation for excellence and legal expertise, committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion, and a culture of trust, clarity, excellence and respect.

Please note: if you are an internal applicant, Pay Policy will apply.

We offer a hybrid working model, with employees expected to work in the office for 8 days each month. You'll also benefit from a generous and flexible benefits package, a supportive and friendly working environment, and excellent opportunities to develop your career within a professional organisation.

Interviews expected to take place, week commencing 17 August.
