IN-HOUSE SOLICITOR
ABS Compliance / Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) / Contract Commercial
Birmingham
THE ROLE
This is an excellent opportunity for a commercial lawyer who is interested in developing a career in practising law in the two key areas of-:
- ABS compliance with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Handbook and broader SRA regulatory compliance framework (to support our Group’s ABS compliance with the SRA regulatory framework, and to support and work with the COLP);
and
- Contract Commercial. Note this can be taught so the successful candidate only needs to have an interest in Commercial Agreements. This involves advising on Draft Contracts with local authorities, flagging up legal clauses that are potential issues. These agreements are frequently for 3-10 years and permit the local authority to use our clients branding, IT, and Data.
The Role involves extensive travel across the UK, with the successful candidate being primarily based in our Birmingham office.
THE CANDIDATE
To be considered for this role, applicants must have a strong desire to learn, grow and develop in two practice areas:
(1) SRA compliance; and
(2) Contract Commercial
The successful candidate must be a UK or Commonwealth law qualified Solicitor or Barrister.
The successful candidate must be based primarily in our Birmingham office, and be prepared to travel extensively across the UK.
For this role, it is essential that candidates have excellent written and oral communications.
