International technology manufacturer seeks a lawyer to cover a 9-month period, within their European legal team.
Ideally the aspirant will have previous experience of working in-house, managing a large and varied volume of transactions (particularly cross border). The role will be mainly focused on commercial contracts, including procurement and R&D, IP related contracts associated to research agreements and NDAs. Additionally there will also be compliance related work (with the support of the Senior Lawyers and the Global Compliance Director), including data protection and competition matters. The candidate may be exposed to other activities, both on a Regional and Corporate level, that could include managing litigation, property, employment and all other issues that you would expect to cross an in-house lawyer’s desk. There is scope to get involved in delivering training to different areas of the business on relevant legal and compliance matters. The role has an international focus and is broad in nature so no two days are the same!
The applicant will be expected to hit the ground running, prioritizing workloads accordingly and using their initiative. Ideally you will be a pragmatic team player, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to exercise sound judgement whilst working with integrity.
