A highly regarded national law firm is seeking a Senior or Principal Associate to join its expanding Commercial Regulatory team. This is a rare opportunity to specialise in regulatory work across digital, product regulation, advertising, labelling, food and beverage, consumer protection and wider trading law.
The Opportunity
Working as part of a growing national practice, with a strong pipeline of complex, advisory-led work and the chance to build your own profile in a supportive, collaborative and forward-thinking environment.
You will advise an impressive roster of household-name clients, including fast-growth technology companies and leading players in the food and beverage sector. The role offers a high level of autonomy and the ability to develop genuine sector expertise while contributing to a growing regulatory offering.
You will be involved in:
Advising on a broad range of UK and international regulatory matters, including food, consumer protection, digital, e-commerce, advertising and anti-discrimination law.
Supporting clients launching new products or entering new markets, delivering clear, risk-based and pragmatic guidance.
Handling regulatory investigations, ASA complaints and enforcement matters.
Coordinating multi-jurisdictional advice with international counsel.
Analysing complex regulatory frameworks and applying them to innovative products and business models.

Strong technical knowledge of regulatory law and a genuine interest in sectors such as food and beverage, education and/or technology.
Strong relationship-building skills and the drive to develop your own practice.
