CORPORATE / BANKING & FINANCE SOLICITORS – OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE INHOUSE

INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION
1 TO 4 YEARS’ PQE
£75K - £90K
FULLY REMOTE
NO TIMERECORDING & NO TARGETS

An international organisation is looking to hire a corporate, banking or investment funds solicitor from private practice into their inhouse legal team, joining as Legal Counsel.

As Legal Counsel, you will report directly to the General Counsel but also have support from a Deputy GC and Senior Legal Counsel in the team.

The work on offer is international in scope (and very high calibre) - you’ll support this organisation’s activities across the globe, with the option for international travel (if you want it).

The role is broad in scope, and work on offer will span commercial contracts of various types (terms of business, supplier and third-party outsourcing contracts, NDAs, licences, consultancy agreements and corporate/finance transactional documentation); supporting on corporate governance and regulatory matters – including data privacy.

This role can be performed on a fully remote basis from anywhere in the UK. Occasional travel to UK offices will be required, however this will be very infrequent and will be on a basis which works for you.

No time recording and no annual targets. No prior inhouse experience is required, either – just a keen desire to transition to an inhouse role.

You’ll join a company which is revered for its culture – it has a very low attrition rate; people who move here stay for a very long time – they are very well paid; promotions pathways are transparent and fair; working hours are very reasonable and they are always made to feel valued for their contribution.

Leave behind the long hours and unpredictability which comes with being a transactional lawyer in private practice, and get your life back (whilst still making good money).

If this role sounds of interest, please either apply here or contact Dominic Roberts at QED Legal – all approaches will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

Quantum Computing Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the quantum computing jobs market in the UK is shifting from hype to harder-edged reality. The wildest forecasts have softened, some early-stage start-ups have pivoted or been acquired, and investors are more selective. At the same time, governments, big tech, defence, finance and pharma still see quantum as strategically important – especially in algorithms, quantum-safe cryptography, optimisation and materials simulation. The result: fewer “blue-sky” roles with no clear roadmap, and more demand for quantum talent that can plug into real programmes, real products and real timelines. Whether you’re a quantum job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams across hardware, software, theory or adjacent fields, understanding the key quantum computing hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK quantum computing hiring has shifted from credential‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation. Employers now value provable contributions across the stack—algorithms & applications, compilation & optimisation, circuit synthesis, control & calibration, hardware characterisation, error mitigation/correction (QEM/QEC), verification/benchmarking, and hybrid HPC/quantum workflows—plus the ability to communicate trade‑offs, costs and feasibility to non‑quantum teams. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for quantum algorithm engineers, quantum software/compilers, experimentalists, quantum control & firmware, cryo/readout engineers, quantum error correction researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, and quantum‑adjacent product managers. Who this is for: Quantum algorithm/applications engineers, compiler/optimisation engineers, control/firmware engineers, experimental physicists & hardware engineers (superconducting, trapped ion, photonic, spin/neutral atom), cryogenics & RF/microwave, QEC researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, quantum‑HPC orchestration engineers, and product/BD roles in the UK quantum ecosystem.

Why Quantum Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Quantum computing has long been considered an elite subfield of physics and computer science. But as quantum technologies advance—from fault-tolerant hardware to quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography—they’re moving closer to real applications in finance, materials simulation, optimisation, cryptography and more. As this transition happens, UK quantum computing careers are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary. Quantum systems are no longer just the domain of physicists and quantum software engineers. If quantum technologies are to be trusted, adopted and regulated, professionals must also incorporate expertise in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. In practice, quantum computing projects now intersect with data governance, risk, human interaction, explainability and communication. In this article, we’ll explore why quantum computing careers in the UK are shifting to multidisciplinary roles, how these five supporting fields intersect with quantum work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to keep up in this evolving frontier.
