There is a requirement for a circa 4-8 years' PQE Corporate and Commercial solicitor to join the Group at its London headquarters. Reporting to the Group GC, the role will support the group and territory management teams on a range of corporate, M&A, commercial, finance, governance and regulatory matters. The role will involve providing first-class legal input and support to Group and territory management in order to assist them in delivering their business objectives in a timely manner, ensuring that they always operate within the law, with a measured and clear approach to risk and to the highest ethical standards in all jurisdictions in which they operate.
To be considered for the role Corporate and Commercial Counsel, you must be UK qualified and have trained at a leading UK or International law firm.
