Job description

At SJP, we partner with some of the world's leading organisations - from global financial institutions and multinational corporates to high-growth businesses undergoing periods of transformation - helping them secure exceptional interim legal talent when they need it most.

As the interim market continues to evolve, we're looking to deepen our network of outstanding lawyers from top-tier law firms who may be considering a move into consulting or simply want to better understand what opportunities exist.

Whether you're actively exploring your next move, approaching the end of a contract, or just curious about how the interim market works, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

Who We're Looking For

We're keen to speak with lawyers who have trained and practised within leading law firms and have experience across areas including:

  • Banking & finance
  • Corporate and M&A
  • Commercial contracts
  • Employment
  • Data protection and privacy
  • Technology and product counselling
  • Structured finance and derivatives
  • Funds and asset management
  • Equity and debt capital markets
  • Litigation and investigations
  • Real estate and projects

Typically, the mandates we support require lawyers with 3+ years' PQE, although opportunities regularly arise at both more junior and senior levels.

Examples of the Opportunities We See

  • A corporate lawyer embedded within the legal team of a global financial institution, supporting ECM and strategic transactions during a period of increased deal activity.
  • A commercial lawyer advising a multinational business on complex customer and supplier arrangements as part of a major transformation programme.
  • An employment lawyer supporting an international organisation on business-critical projects, investigations and contentious matters.
  • A privacy lawyer partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to navigate evolving regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
  • A finance lawyer providing additional bandwidth to a leading investment platform during a particularly active period of execution.
  • A senior legal counsel covering a parental leave assignment, acting as a trusted advisor to business stakeholders and executive teams.

Why Build a Relationship with SJP?

Moving into interim legal consulting can feel like a significant shift, particularly for lawyers who have built their careers within private practice. Our role is not simply to introduce opportunities - it's to help you understand the market and determine whether interim work aligns with your professional and personal goals.

We take the time to understand what matters to you: the work you enjoy, the sectors that interest you, the pace and culture in which you thrive, your financial expectations and the level of flexibility you're seeking.

Many of the lawyers we work with initially come to us for an informal market conversation. Some go on to build long-term interim careers, while others engage selectively when the right assignment presents itself.

Working with SJP means:

  • Access to interim mandates across a broad and diverse client base
  • Introductions to opportunities that are often never publicly advertised
  • Honest guidance on market conditions, rates and hiring trends
  • A relationship-led approach focused on your long-term career objectives
  • A team that actively advocates for you throughout every stage of the process
  • The flexibility to explore interim work in a way that suits your circumstances and ambitions

If you're a lawyer from a top-tier firm who has ever wondered whether interim consulting could be the right next step, we'd be delighted to share our perspective on the market and discuss what opportunities may be available.

Please send your CV to interims@thesjp.co.uk

We also offer a generous referral bonus for successful introductions.
