• Assisting with the management of disputes, complaints and external legal advice.
• Maintaining legal templates, contract records and legal knowledge resources.
• Contributing to training, guidance materials and legal awareness initiatives across the business.

We're looking for a newly qualified Solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive or equivalent legal professional who enjoys problem-solving, building relationships and delivering practical advice.

Here at allpay, we follow an Office First working model, reflecting the importance we place on in-person collaboration across our teams, most of whom are based on-site. While we are open to discussing flexible working arrangements, a strong on-site presence will be essential to support the existing teams and projects.
