The MoJ’s legal services trade work is wide-ranging and very varied. The successful candidate will lead the department’s work on tackling market access barriers in priority jurisdictions which will involve working with other government departments and British Embassies and High Commissions around the world, as well as external stakeholders including professional bodies and regulators from the UK legal sector. This work is likely to include working on Free Trade Agreements and other established government-to-government trade dialogues.
