What you need to have: 

  • 2-7 years’ PQE (qualified as a solicitor in England & Wales or an equivalent common law jurisdiction)

  • A commercial lawyer with good technical skills

  • Relevant experience in a professional services firm, financial services organisation or law firm

  • Excellent document drafting, communication, and negotiation skills

  • Strong commercial acumen with an ability to deliver clear and pragmatic solutions

What makes you stand out? 

  • Experience in supervising junior team members/paralegals or being a contact for contractual escalations would be advantageous

  • Experience working with data protection legislation and negotiating DPAs

Why join our team:

We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
