Professional services company based in Central London offering three month interim contract (with the possibility of extension/permanent) for a commercially-minded lawyer looking for an exciting challenge in a vibrant organisation.
Working as the company's sole lawyer, you will be responsible for drafting, negotiating, reviewing and advising on a broad range of supplier and client contracts. You will also be involved with managing the relationship with external counsel for other matters such as property and employment law.
The company intend to recruit for the role on a permanent basis later in 2015, and a strong performance during the interim period, could lead to the contractor being offered the role long-term.
The client believes that the work would be best suited to a lawyer from either newly-qualified to 2 year PQE level (and the salary reflects that), however experience at all levels will be considered. Working a sole lawyer, it is important that the candidate is a confident individual, who isn't afraid to push back to people in the business to ensure legal risk is minimised at all times.
You will have had a proven track record of dealing with a broad range of commercial agreements. It is also vital that you are commercially-minded, and can approach issues from a business viewpoint, as well as from a legal angle.
