Vacancies
Law Commission Lawyer – Public Law & Law in Wales
We are currently recruiting for a lawyer to work in the Public Law and Law in Wales team.
The vacancy arises in the context of our upcoming project on automated decision making (“ADM”) in the public sector. This is a scoping review which will consider the law governing decisions made by or for public bodies using algorithmic processes and artificial intelligence, including the varying degrees of human input and oversight over these decisions. Our scoping review will consider how to develop a coherent legal framework to facilitate good and lawful use of ADM systems. This project forms part of the Law Commission’s 14th Programme of law reform. The initial scoping stage is expected to take 18 months, with the potential for further, substantive strands of law reform work to follow.
For further information and to apply, please go to the Law Commission lawyer – Public Law and Law in Wales vacancy page.
Application deadline: 2 June 2026
Non‑Executive Board Member
We currently have a vacancy for a Non‑Executive Board Member. Non‑Executive Board Members play an important role in supporting the Law Commission to deliver this work. Working alongside the Chair, Commissioners and Chief Executives, Non‑Executive Board Members provide constructive challenge, strategic insight and independent perspective, helping to ensure that the Commission continues to operate effectively, with strong governance, sound judgment and clear strategic direction. This is particularly important as the organisation navigates a period of transition, with a new Chair joining at the end of 2026.
For further details and to apply, go to the Non Executive Board Member vacancy page.
Application deadline: 11am on 8 June 2026
