Senior Legal Counsel – Telecoms – Contract - Reading – up to £650/day
Our client is one of the UK’s largest telecoms companies. They are looking for a mid-level or senior lawyer to join their impressive legal team either for a 6 month contract (minimum). A media, commercial and/or IP background from a top 20 city firm is preferred; however, anyone with strong TMT experience should apply. The legal team consists of intelligent and fun people, who do complex and stimulating work.
Examples of responsibilities include:
- drafting and negotiating media contracts, marketing and advertising agreements, data protection/privacy, intellectual property and other general commercial contracts;
- supporting a mixture of advisory and transactional needs of the business; and
- working alongside the Business and Finance Legal Team, supporting them in their operations.
The company is one of a few telecoms companies to grow in the market over the last 2-3 years. This is because of their innovative and collaborative approach to work, which is supported by the way their legal team operates. You should have a desire to work closely with the business, not only providing legal advice but also a sound business understanding.
This role is ideal for someone looking to make a big move into the telecommunications industry, without sacrificing the quality or enjoyment of work.
The start date is flexible; but you should be available within the next 3 months.
You must be UK qualified and over 3PQE.
