Job Description

Regulatory Solicitor / Associate / Legal Director - Safety, Health & Environment (SHE)
Location: South West / London

PQE: 10+ years

Sector: Regulatory Defence (Health & Safety, Environment, Fire, Food, Product Safety, Inquests)

We're working on behalf of a top-tier international law firm with a standout regulatory team, looking to welcome a talented senior lawyer into their expanding Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) practice.

This is a rare opportunity to work on headline-making cases, guiding clients through complex, sensitive investigations and prosecutions-including matters of corporate manslaughter, gross negligence, and regulatory breaches across health & safety, fire, environmental, food and product safety. The work is intellectually rigorous, high-profile and genuinely impactful.

What's on offer:
  • A broad, meaty caseload spanning both contentious and advisory work
  • Clients across major industries and their insurers, with work directly linked to inquests, public inquiries, and enforcement investigations
  • Unusually close client contact and the chance to build your own relationships from day one
  • A collaborative national team
  • Flexibility to work from offices the South West / South / potentially other locations too
  • Backing from a major international platform, offering global reach and resources

Your experience:
  • 10+ years' PQE in regulatory law, with experience handling HSE, Police, Environment Agency, CQC or Fire Authority investigations
  • Strong track record in inquests, interviews under caution, PACE submissions, and strategic compliance advice
  • Excellent legal drafting, analysis and case management skills
  • Comfort with business development and building strong, lasting client relationships
  • Ideally, experience advising on wider safety matters such as food, product, fire or environmental safety
  • A clean driving licence and flexibility to travel at short notice for time-critical client matters

The perks:
  • A competitive salary of £60,000 - £90,000 per annum (depending on experience) package including private medical, income protection, gym discounts and more
  • A forward-thinking, flexible culture
  • In-person and virtual socials, generous professional development support
  • Progression routes
  • A genuinely inclusive, diverse environment that genuinely values people

If you're a seasoned regulatory lawyer looking for complex, fascinating work without compromising on work-life balance or personal progression, we'd love to chat.

Apply now or reach out confidentially to learn more.
