A Cheshire based company which does seriously clever things with software and technology is seeking a junior commercial legal counsel (NQ Solicitor, Legal Executive or experienced paralegal) for a role in their in-house legal team.
The culture of the company is tricky to get across in text, but it's a really relaxed, mature and collaborative team based environment where the legal team is properly invested in and valued. You would work with circa 5 or 6 team members with excellent commercial and tech experience, mostly solicitors who have been in the team for a long time. You will also have support from more junior team member and another team of lawyers in the business.
The type of experience that this team like to see is commercial contracts, and the rest can be picked up on the job, but it's always a bonus to come to them with IT, , intellectual property, software, data protection or procurement experience. Trainee solicitor candidates who are about to qualify or who have recently qualified and have solid commercial contracts experience will be considered, as will legal executives and paralegals with the right experience.
This could be a part time role and the hours can be flexible to suit your needs. A hybrid arrangement with 3 days in the office and 2 from home would be preferred, although other arrangements may be considered.
