In-House Commercial and General Counsel
IT Lab Limited
Company Background
We are one of the UK’s fastest growing and mid-market technology service and outsourcing providers. Having recently been acquired by ECI Partners, a leading private equity fund, our company is at an exciting inflexion point and poised to grow organically as well as through acquisition. With 380 staff and operations in London, Manchester and Cape Town, we are well positioned to meet the demands of our 850+ customers, providing a blend of outsourced IT support, cloud hosting services; cyber, strategic consulting and business application services.
The Role
To support our growth, we are seeking to recruit a sole In-house counsel of 4 – 7 years PQE to be based at our offices in Farringdon in London. Although predominantly focused on general commercial contracts and IT/Technology related agreements and services, this position offers an exciting breadth of work and experience.
This position will suit a commercial solicitor trained at a leading Silver Circle or larger West End firm looking for significant responsibility and autonomy, and the opportunity to be centrally involved in business critical commercial matters as well as providing general legal advice on commercial disputes, employment and property matters as they arise. As sole in-house counsel, you will occasionally manage external legal advisers as well as become involved in the company’s M&A activity.
Background, Experience and Skills
The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of commercial and IT outsourcing contracts and working knowledge of the relevant areas of law including data protection; governance, risk and compliance; and employment law (TUPE in particular).
Given our fast-paced environment and growth trajectory, we are looking for individuals with the ability to apply legal rigour and good practice with commercial sensibility. The role encompasses establishing and enforcing internal legal process and structure. If you are a team player, but able to work independently and a self-starter with a desire to be part of a lively, entrepreneurial environment, then IT Lab is right for you.
Package and Logistics
- Market competitive salary (dependent on experience)
- Office located in Farringdon - great central London location
- 23.5 days’ annual leave
- Pension, healthcare, discounted gym membership (a whole array of benefits)
Good luck and please bear in mind we receive a very high number of applications; we will endeavour to get back to all applicants, however, we thank you for understanding this is not always possible for unsuccessful applicants.
