An interesting and varied commercial role has arisen for a qualified Solicitor or Barrister with at least 2 years' PQE.
My client has a strong brand and a reputation for quality, its mid-size legal team is friendly and collegiate and provides a full-service function to the high calibre business.
As a Legal Counsel you will focus on commercial work in a B2B context. You will draft and negotiate a range of contracts including supply, service and distribution agreements, NDAs, IT and technology agreements and advise upon data privacy related matters. You may also become involved on an ad hoc basis in a broad cross-section of employment, litigation, corporate and regulatory matters. You will work in close proximity to the business and be allowed responsibility commensurate with your ability; whilst being supported in your professional and technical development.
The ideal candidate will have strong academics and training, be an effective communicator, have a commercial and pragmatic approach and be willing to undertake legal work in areas of the law with which they are previously unfamiliar.
Individuals with corporate/transactional or contentious backgrounds will be considered for the role. Previous secondment or in-house experience would be an advantage but is not a pre-requisite.
This is an excellent opportunity for a talented individual to make a valued contribution to a leading organisation, gain a breadth of quality legal experience and to be rewarded with a very good work/life balance.
