Commercial IT/Tech lawyers NQ – 1 & 2+ years’ PQE LONDON

Commercial law firm in London, listed in the directories for the work it does in non-contentious Commercial/IT law, seeks two Commercial IT/Tech lawyers – one of 0 to 1 and the other of 2 or more years’ PQE. The team advises on a broad range of commercial agreements, outsourcing (both IT and business process), technology matters and data protection. Although they work for clients in a broad range of market sectors, their focus is on the life sciences, hotels and leisure, art and transport sectors. They advise both their own clients and clients of other departments of the firm. Whilst there is some corporate support advice provided, this tends to be done at a junior level and the majority of the team’s work is for its “own” clients.

The roles will involve drafting and negotiation of commercial agreements, including supply and services agreements, manufacturing, distribution, agency and franchise agreements. You will also assist with managing the commercial aspects of corporate transactions, including the negotiation and drafting of TSAs. Associates of all levels are expected to develop, over time, their own informal internal and external network of contacts. Furthermore, Associates are regularly asked to go on secondment and those who have been with the team for more than a couple of years have already been on at least one client secondment. You will also be expected to participate in and contribute to business development and profile-raising events. Qualified candidates will already specialise in non-contentious Commercial IT/Tech matters. Newly-qualified candidates will have undertaken a seat in Commercial and/or IT and/or IP and/or Data Protection law.
