Corporate and Commercial Solicitor | 3-5 PQE*
Our client is a Private Practice based just outside of London. They are currently looking to recruit a dedicated Corporate and Commercial associate lawyer for their client-focused commercial practice. The role has come up due to a gap in the team created by a secondment.
This role will be initially for a period of 3 months with the potential for the successful candidate to become permanent after this time.
The role will require working knowledge of:
- Service agreements
- Licensing
- Data Protection
- Intellectual Property
- E-Commerce
The ideal candidate will have approximately 3-5 years’ PQE* and have strong Corporate and Commercial law experience gained from a leading firm. In addition, the successful Corporate and Commercial solicitor will have excellent academics with a 2.1 or above. You will have previous experience of the broad spectrum of clients from PLCs to SMEs; prior experience of private/owner-managed businesses would be advantageous but is not essential.
It is important that you enjoy working autonomously but are also able to build strong relationships with the wider team as well as clientele. You must also be confident at working independently as this role will often involve working autonomously.
This opportunity is able to offer proximity to an excellent client roster and a broader spectrum of commercial work.
For more information please contact Anna Cox at SSQ or apply with your CV through Totally Legal.
If similar roles are of interest, but perhaps not this one, then do get in touch nevertheless. We recruit for many of the best law firms in the world and will have an interesting and varied portfolio of positions at any given time. We can offer both temporary and permanent positions in London and further afield.
*please note that the PQE stated is indicative only of the estimated level of work required - candidates outside of this range are advised to apply if they feel they have the necessary experience to fulfil a role at this level.
