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.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Quantum Computing Skills in 2025/26

Quantum computing has moved from theory to practice. No longer confined to physics labs, it is now a serious field of research, development, and even early commercial application. From cryptography and drug discovery to optimisation in finance and logistics, quantum computing is shaping up to be one of the most transformative technologies of the coming decades. For job seekers in the UK, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Roles in quantum computing are appearing not only in big tech but also in finance, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and government research. Employers want candidates who don’t just understand the theory, but who can actually design, test, and deploy quantum algorithms. The challenge? Quantum hardware is still rare, expensive, and limited. But the good news is that there are many free tools, platforms, and resources you can use to practise quantum computing skills today — building your knowledge, portfolio, and career prospects without spending a penny. This article explores the best free platforms for learning and practising quantum computing, how to use them effectively, and how to build portfolio projects that stand out to UK employers.

The Future of Quantum Computing Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Quantum computing has long been described as the next frontier in technology. Unlike classical computers, which process information in binary (0s and 1s), quantum computers use quantum bits—or qubits—that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This allows them to perform certain calculations exponentially faster than today’s most powerful supercomputers. For now, quantum computing is still in its early stages. But progress is accelerating. Tech giants such as IBM, Google, and Microsoft are racing to build scalable quantum systems. Start-ups across the UK, including Oxford Quantum Circuits and Cambridge Quantum, are developing applications that could transform industries from finance to pharmaceuticals. The UK government has invested heavily in quantum technologies, with the National Quantum Strategy allocating billions to research and commercialisation. Universities are training a new generation of quantum scientists and engineers. Demand for quantum skills is already outpacing supply. Yet the real transformation is still to come. As quantum computing converges with AI, cyber security, biotechnology, and materials science, entirely new jobs will emerge—roles that don’t exist today but will be essential tomorrow. Many of the most important quantum computing jobs of the next two decades don’t exist yet. This article explores why new careers will appear, the future jobs likely to emerge, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.
