ABOUT YOU
You'll be a lawyer with varied commercial experience, gained in house or in private practice, and probably a year or two PQE, at least. If you are a qualified solicitor then so much the better, but if you have qualified by experience then we'd also like to hear from you. A background in commercial contracts, corporate law, commercial property, or construction would all be of interest in this highly diverse role.
This position offers exposure to senior decision makers within the business, and so if you enjoy a diverse workload, and a fast paced environment when you can take a pragmatic and commercial outlook, then this could be the role for you.
