On 1 January 1985 we made the UK’s first mobile call. It marked the launch of the mobile industry and transformed global communications. Today Vodafone is the world’s leading international mobile telecommunications group with equity interests in 27 countries across 5 continents, 186.8 million proportionate customers and 33 partner networks*.
For more than 20 years we’ve been at the forefront of mobile innovation. Now we’re entering a stretch of uncharted territory as next generation technology opens up a whole new range of opportunities for customers. It’s a new and exciting stage in our journey.
The mobile phone industry has changed almost beyond recognition since its conception, and even in the last few years, we’ve seen a quick succession of new developments such as 3G, leading to products like Vodafone Live! and Mobile TV.
As telecommunications, IT and media services continue to converge - the pace of change shows no sign of letting up. This means that, with the sheer size and variety of what we do, there are many opportunities to make your mark on the world’s largest mobile telecommunications company.
The legal team support all UK departments in the day-to-day running of the business, helping to make sure everyone operates within the legal framework and is aware of up-and-coming risks that may affect our strategy. We look at the impact of new legislation, consulting with the Government to identify any changes we need to make; and we also work with the Vodafone Group legal department, focussing on global issues with other Group companies from around the world.
We handle the majority of Vodafone’s legal requirements in-house, covering property law, corporate matters and litigation – as well as commercial law, which constitutes the bulk of our activity and incorporates specialist areas such as data protection, environmental law and telecoms regulation. In commercial areas we make sure our people are exposed to a wide variety of work so they don’t get pigeonholed, which not only makes it more interesting for them but also creates more flexibility within the team. In all of our areas you’ll find a great deal of autonomy, with solicitors generally taking ownership of all the projects they work on. |
