Your new role
This is an excellent opportunity for a Commercial and Digital Lawyer to join a thriving and progressive team in Southampton. You will handle a wide variety of commercial and technology work, including advising on major digital transformation programmes, complex technology transactions, software licensing, IT services, procurement arrangements and outsourcing projects. The role will also involve delivering strategic advice on data protection, privacy, cybersecurity and the adoption of emerging technologies such as generative AI.
Alongside this, you will work on day-to-day commercial contracts and support clients with major operational projects, supply chain arrangements, product development and routes to market. You will contribute to all stages of transactions, from drafting and negotiation through to risk management and regulatory considerations. The work is highly varied and may also include the opportunity to support clients on international matters, including expansion into rapidly developing markets such as the USA and Saudi Arabia. The team is known for being friendly, collegial and forward thinking, offering exposure to cutting edge work and the chance to develop specialist expertise.
What you'll need to succeed
You will be a UK qualified solicitor, ideally with at least three years' PQE (applications from those with more or less experience will also be considered). You should have solid experience in commercial contracts and/or digital, technology or data protection matters, ideally gained within a leading city, national or well respected regional firm, or within a suitable in-house environment. You will be confident supporting complex or high-value transactions, comfortable engaging with clients and able to communicate about complex legal issues in a clear, practical way. Strong drafting skills, a commercially minded approach and a genuine interest in the digital and technology landscape will be essential for success in this role. Additional experience in areas such as software licensing, IT services, cybersecurity, AI or international contracting would be beneficial but is not mandatory.
What you'll get in return
You will join a firm that places real emphasis on wellbeing, flexibility and personal development. The organisation's inclusive culture ensures that people are supported and encouraged to progress, and there is a strong focus on maintaining healthy working practices. Alongside high quality work and access to national and international projects, the firm offers a competitive salary and benefits package, flexible working options and a genuine commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. This is an opportunity to become part of a dynamic team that values creativity, innovation and collaboration.
What you need to do now
If you are interested in this role or would like to discuss it further, please get in touch for a confidential conversation.
If this opportunity isn't quite the right fit, but you are considering new roles within commercial, digital or technology law, I would still be very happy to speak with you.
We would expect a lawyer with the stated PQE to have developed the appropriate level of experience, but applications from individuals with higher or lower PQE are equally welcome.
