One of the most attractive aspects to this role is the flexibility. It’s an unusual position in many ways, but will definitely attract a lot of interest. The firm has established itself as a regional leader. It has forged fantastic relationships with its client base and has found that increasingly, clients need greater support, especially during periods of transition or peak times.
As such, the firm has decided that a ‘full time commercial secondee’ would be able to integrate with key clients when they most need legal and commercial support. The clients tend to be mid to large corporates which can be regional, national and international. You would have the opportunity to spend short-term spells with key clients at the most pertinent periods advising on commercial legal issues. You would be expected to develop strong relationships, get involved with a broad selection of commercial matters, distribute work to other teams and approach the mini secondments with energy, enthusiasm and innovation.
This role, whilst unusual would suit someone who is looking to work closer with clients, maybe is considering in-house opportunities but isn’t quite ready to leave private practice or someone who is already in-house but would like to re-join private practice (as there will be opportunities to work in the commercial group between secondments).
To apply, you will currently be working in one of the following positions: the City undertaking commercial work; at a well know regional firm as part of the commercial team or working in-house looking to return to private practice. You must be UK qualified and be in permanent UK employment. You must have strong academics (minimum 2:1 from a good University and As and Bs at A-Level or equivalent) and have broad commercial contracts exposure. The partners are seeking someone who is both ambitious and capable of engaging in business development activities as you will spend the majority of your time on site with the clients. Apply now!
