ABOUT THREE POINTS

We are Three Points – a pioneering tech-enabled law firm built for innovative businesses, fast-growth tech companies and elite sports professionals. Our clients include fast-growing tech companies (including tech unicorns and leading AI providers), well-established FTSE-listed businesses, international athletes and agents, major rightsholders, top creative/media agencies and well-known brands.

Founded in 2025 by experts with 25+ years’ experience at top international firms, we bridge the gap between traditional legal advice and modern client needs. We deliver legal services that match the pace and ambition of our clients and are recognised leaders in Technology, Sports and Commercial/IP law.

Having recently recruited a Consultant Partner, we’re now looking for someone naturally entrepreneurial, with a proven track record of excellent client relationships and a pragmatic approach to providing legal support to play an important role in supporting our diverse mix of clients and help drive their (and our own) growth.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re seeking a senior lawyer with deep technical expertise to join our team. This is a rare opportunity to be part of something genuinely different – a firm that’s rewriting the rules on how legal services are delivered.

You’ll work directly with our three partners, taking ownership of complex, high-value matters whilst helping to build and scale our practice. We want someone who’s ready to challenge conventions, leverage technology and create new ways of serving clients.

This role is ideal for someone who is excited by technology and innovation, thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and wants to build something meaningful, not just bill hours.

  • Helping shape how we use technology to deliver better, faster, more cost-effective legal services.
  • Contributing ideas on process improvement, automation and client experience enhancement.
  • Being an advocate for doing things differently.

 

Team Collaboration & Culture

  • Working collaboratively across Technology, Sports and Commercial/ IP teams.
  • Mentoring and supporting junior team members as we grow.

  • Contributing to strategic discussions about the firm’s direction and development.

  • Self-Starter Mentality: Demonstrable track record of taking initiative, identifying opportunities/being entrepreneurial and driving matters forward independently.
  • Technology Enthusiasm: Genuine interest in legal tech, AI, automation and innovative service delivery. You should be excited by technology, not resistant to it.

  • Exceptional Drafting: Superior drafting, analytical and negotiation skills with experience on complex, high-value and international transactions.
