Commercial PSL

Commercial Professional Support Lawyer - North West

A leading UK legal services provider is seeking an experienced Professional Support Lawyer (PSL) to join its commercial practice. This is a rare opportunity for a senior commercial lawyer who enjoys working across legal expertise, knowledge management, innovation and training, and is keen to influence how legal services are delivered in a modern, forward-thinking firm.

This role will appeal to commercial solicitors looking to move away from traditional fee-earning, while remaining closely connected to high-quality legal work, clients and strategic development.

The Opportunity

As a Commercial PSL, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering legal knowledge across the firm. Working closely with fee-earning teams, clients and senior stakeholders, you will support legal excellence through know-how development, research, training and innovation, including hands-on exposure to AI-enabled legal tools.
The firm has a collaborative, progressive culture that genuinely values its PSL community.
Key Responsibilities include:
- Knowledge Management & Know-How
- Research & Development
- Training & Development
- Client & Market Engagement

About You

You are likely to be:
- A qualified commercial solicitor (or equivalent) with 5+ years' PQE
- Technically strong, commercially aware and confident working with senior stakeholders
- Organised, proactive and passionate about knowledge sharing and innovation

Previous experience as a Professional Support Lawyer or delivering legal training is advantageous, but not essential - this role is also well-suited to experienced fee-earners looking to transition into a PSL career path.

Why Apply?

A genuine opportunity to shape how legal knowledge is created and shared
Exposure to cutting-edge legal technology and AI tools
Flexible location and hybrid working
A collaborative, inclusive and values-driven culture
Clear long-term career development within a growing professional support function

If you are a commercial or data protection lawyer seeking a strategic, future-focused PSL role with real influence, this is an ideal role for you.
