Company

At MI5, our mission is to keep the country safe, through the protection of national security including from threats from terrorism and espionage.  

At MI6, we operate on a global scale to collect foreign intelligence and to counter and disrupt terrorism. It's all so we can keep the country safe from ever-evolving threats. 

To help us, we're looking for the UK's finest legal minds. We are looking to recruit lawyers to give advice across a wide range of operational and associated matters, to represent the agencies in discussions across Government and with partners overseas, and to handle litigation on our behalf.  The work is wide-ranging, varied and highly responsible.  Depending on portfolios, legal advisers can expect to advise on a range of domestic law issues as well as public international and EU law.
