Lawyers have a crucial part to play at bp, due to our companies’ complexities and various business offerings.

People are also given areas where they can specifically focus: - regulatory law, health, safety, security & environment (HSSE).

Apart from having a strong legal knowledge, we are keen to have people with a solid business acumen and aptitude, to steer a large, multifaceted organization, who can engage with a variety of stakeholders and build trusted relationships. Self-confidence, decision making and resilience to manage big caseloads, whilst working towards core deadlines, are the key characteristics we want.
