About the role

  • Legal Counsel at Motorway working on commercial agreements and corporate transactions in a collaborative culture. Supporting payments compliance and solving complex legal issues.

Responsibilities

  • Tackle the commercial heavy lifting: You’ll get stuck into the full gamut of commercial agreements, from partnerships and marketing deals to SaaS contracts, ensuring our paperwork keeps up with our pace.
  • Support big moves: You’ll play a key role in supporting corporate transactions, giving you a front-row seat to how a major scale-up handles its business evolution.
  • Navigate the tricky stuff: You’ll support our payments function with financial regulation (FinReg) and help our employment teams navigate people matters, keeping us compliant and fair.
  • Collaborate across the board: You won’t be hidden away in an office; you’ll report to the Director of Legal and work with everyone from customer service agents right up to the C-Suite.
  • Solve problems, don't just spot them: You’ll need to think on your feet and offer proactive solutions to complex issues, rather than just pointing out the roadblocks.

Requirements

  • You’re a UK-qualified solicitor. We usually look for around 3 years PQE as a guide
  • You’ve trained at a reputable law firm or in-house, and ideally, you’ve already got a taste for the tech world or a VC-backed scale-up.
