Our client is an organisation at the forefront of their sector, working on fast paced scientific and engineering developments. Their established legal team is now looking to hire additional counsel to support the business.
The legal team provides comprehensive in house legal support to a range of companies within the group, and as such the issues that cross the desk of the in house legal team are necessarily diverse. At it's core, you'll be advising on complex commercial contracting matters, IP work, property matters, and occasional corporate transactional work. You'll also be involved in advising on regulatory matters, some litigation, occasional input on employment law matters, and delivering training to employees. The range of commercial work on offer is genuinely interesting and varied, and you'll regularly encounter issues that will be new to you.
To be a success in this role, you'll need to be an commercially minded lawyer having gained experience from a good law firm or in house legal department, and most likely from a commercial, technology, corporate, projects or property background. The specific skillset is less important that your positive 'can do' attitude and adaptability. The key criteria for this role are to be pragmatic and commercially minded, and to be comfortable in a fast moving and dynamic business where no two days are the same.
In return our client offers a good salary and benefits package, and the possibility of flexible working. The role is based within easy commute from Newcastle, Durham, Teesside, York and North Yorkshire.
