Our client, one of the fastest growing businesses in the commercialisation of digital sports content across multiple platforms, seeks a lawyer to join its team. You will be expected to undertake a mix of commercial work, whilst also dealing with many of the legal issues arising out of the businesses expanding rights portfolio and content acquisition. You will also work with management across the group’s central commercial divisions. You will also be expected to assist when necessary with work from across the group’s central functions (including technology, regulatory and IP matters), particularly where such matters have a rights-related element.
Working closely with the business, this is an exciting opportunity to get heavily involved with the commercial people.
Ideally you will have between 3-5 years’ PQE, and have trained and subsequently worked in a highly successful and recognised commercial team either in private practice, or a strong in-house team. You will also ideally have experience in the drafting and negotiating complex high value video content acquisition/ rights agreements and be comfortable taking responsibility for content licensing related matters. Experience in drafting and negotiating data rights agreements would be an advantage but not essential.
The team is incredibly collegiate, down to earth and quite relaxed, making for a great working environment. The work is of excellent quality and you will undertake a broad range of matters, so the role will suit someone proactive, flexible and creative.
