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 Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Quantum computing is exciting. Headlines about qubits, quantum advantage and futuristic breakthroughs can make it seem like the preserve of physicists in high-tech labs. But for career switchers in their 30s, 40s or 50s in the UK, the truth is both broader and more practical: there are real job opportunities connected to quantum computing that don’t require you to come straight out of a PhD programme. This article gives you a grounded UK-focused reality check on quantum computing jobs, what roles genuinely exist, which ones are suited to career switchers, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining realistically takes and how to position your experience for success. Whether you’re coming from IT, engineering, project management, research support, operations, compliance or even sales & communications — there are ways to pivot into this fast-growing field if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Quantum Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Quantum computing is no longer confined to university labs and research papers. UK companies are now actively hiring quantum software engineers, physicists, hardware specialists, cryptographers and commercial leads as the sector moves closer to real-world deployment. But while demand for quantum talent is rising, many employers are struggling to attract the right candidates. Roles attract either underqualified applicants who see “quantum” as a buzzword, or highly academic researchers who are a poor fit for commercial environments. The problem often isn’t the candidate pool — it’s the job advert. Writing a strong quantum job ad requires a very different approach to traditional tech hiring. Quantum professionals are highly specialised, sceptical of hype and acutely aware when an employer doesn’t truly understand the field. In this guide, we’ll break down how to write a quantum job ad that attracts the right people, filters out the wrong ones and positions your organisation as a serious, credible player in the quantum ecosystem.

Maths for Quantum Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them) Linear algebra essentials, probability, complex numbers, basic optimisation.

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or ML engineer looking to move into quantum computing or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in physics, maths, computer science or engineering applying for quantum roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions often say “strong maths” but rarely spell out what that means in practice. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree’s worth of theory to start applying. For most graduate & early-career roles in quantum software, quantum research engineering & quantum algorithms, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in four areas: linear algebra, probability, complex numbers & basic optimisation. This guide turns vague requirements into a clear, job-focused checklist. You will learn what to focus on, what to leave for later & how to build small portfolio outputs that prove you can translate the maths into working code.
