We have a great opportunity for a commercially astute lawyer to join our award-winning in-house legal team. We can offer you a dynamic and exciting environment where no two days will be the same.

Broad general commercial experience is required. Experience advising on airline compliance, aviation engineering & maintenance and aircraft contracts would be preferrable but is not essential.
