Commercial Lawyer
Not Specified | Permanent, full-time| £55,000 - £65,000 per annum (Remote Working Plus benefits)
My client, an international, listed law firm is seeking an ambitious and entrepreneurial Commercial Solicitor with 1-4 years PQE to join their team. This is a purely home-based role with occasional travel to head office or client sites and as such would likely appeal to candidates irrespective of location.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a creative and experienced Commercial Solicitor with 1-4 PQE to join a dedicated team to work in innovative new ways. The qualified candidate will act as in-house Commercial Solicitor for a client on behalf of this international law firm. The appointed candidate will have general commercial contracts, technology/outsourcing and intellectual property experience.
Their clients rely on the firm to handle their commercial contract needs, building a sincere and enduring partnership. Given the extensive nature of their client's business and its innovative and dynamic approach, the work (which will encompass commercial contracts, technology and outsourcing agreements, third party supplier arrangements and other contracts relating to its business operations) will undoubtedly be varied, complex and engaging.
This role will provide the opportunity to work with one client as a core part of its legal function, enabling the qualified candidates to gain a deeper understanding of the client's business and a closer working relationship with the client's in-house team.
Whilst this is a dedicated team, the qualified candidates will work alongside the wider UK Technology, Media and Telecoms team and benefit from all of the team training.
Responsibilities
You will work as part of a team to deliver the full spectrum of commercial contract requirements for our client. This will include drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts as well as providing advice on contract or other queries. Through newly established ways of working, including an increased emphasis on technological solutions, you will be supported in taking full ownership for contracts, giving greater responsibility than is available in typical private practice teams. Our approach is to create a collaborative environment by working as part of a team whilst also encouraging team members to operate with a degree of independence.
You will work closely with other members of this dedicated team as well as the in-house legal function at our client. The department has a positive teamwork ethic and a first class client management approach. It is essential that candidates are focused and committed to developing personally and professionally. A commitment to deliver high-quality focused services to our clients is essential, as is maintaining and developing client relationships.
Required experience, skills, and attributes
Technical Skills
In return, you can expect a competitive basic salary, benefits package and the opportunity to work on a dedicated basis with one client on a wide range of commercial matters
