Unity Advisory is a modern advisory business built for today's CFO, with connected solutions across finance, deals and tax. Focussed on client outcomes, seasoned experts lead every engagement, in an operating model powered by AI and free from audit conflict.




The Role



You'll report to the Chief Legal and Risk Officer in our Legal, Risk and Compliance team. You'll advise leadership on everything from commercial contracts and data to IP and corporate deals, and be integral in helping build a legal function that keeps pace with a fast-growing, AI-enabled firm.




Responsibilities

  • Advise on IP, data protection and AI governance

  • Work with business leaders on growth, with practical, commercially minded advice

  • Support cross-border matters across multiple jurisdictions

  • Help on corporate transactions, including M&A, joint ventures and investments, mainly in PE-backed settings

  • Train and guide business teams on legal and compliance issues

  • Use AI tools in how we deliver legal work, and help improve how the team operates

  • Move across areas of legal need as the business grows




What You'll Bring



  • Qualified lawyer with strong commercial contracts experience from both private practice and in-house (secondments count)

  • A track record advising fast-growth technology companies

  • Good commercial judgement, so you can weigh legal risk against business opportunity

  • Working knowledge of AI, data governance and IP

  • Clear communication and the confidence to work with senior stakeholders

  • A pragmatic, solutions-first mindset in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting




Helpful to have:
experience supporting PE-backed companies, cross-border or international deal exposure, hands-on M&A, and familiarity with AI-enabled legal service models.
