Legal Counsel

Commercial Contracts

Remote

£70,000+


I am delighted to be working on an exciting opportunity for a creative and experienced commercial lawyer with 5+ PQE to join a dedicated team to work in innovative new ways.


You will have general commercial contracts, technology/outsourcing and intellectual property experience. This is an opportunity to work and deliver industry leading legal services and insightful data to support clients by using a combination of legal, technological and operational specialists to define a new standard for best practice.


Given the extensive nature of our 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.


Due to the single client focus and the nature of the team, these roles will provide greater certainty and flexibility of working hours. This role will provide the opportunity to work with one client as a core part of its legal function, enabling you to gain a deeper understanding of the client's business and a closer working relationship with the client's in-house team.


Responsibilities


You will work as part of a team to deliver the full spectrum of commercial contract requirements. 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. The 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. The department has a positive teamwork ethic and a first class client management approach. A commitment to deliver high-quality focused services is essential, as is maintaining and developing client relationships.


Required experience, skills, and attributes


Technical Skills

  • Comprehensive academic record, including a degree or equivalent
  • 5+ PQE
  • Having experience working on general commercial contracts
  • Candidates are expected to have technology awareness
  • Having experience working on similar work for sophisticated clients is desired
  • Advanced drafting skills and legal research ability
  • Either an in-house or private practice background, ideally both


Personal Attributes

  • Enthusiastic about quality client service
  • Proficient in resolving issues and adept at evaluating business environments
  • Advanced interpersonal and communication skills
  • Demonstrate initiative and support
  • Good interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal
  • The ability to prioritise various tasks, particularly when working in a time-sensitive situation and to tight deadlines
  • A methodical approach to work with a high focus on accuracy


This is an excellent opportunity to join a UK leading company and be involved in a varied and exciting array of commercial contracts. For more information then please apply or contact adam.skelton@vnirecruitment.co.uk
