Reporting to the team Head, you will take the lead on a combination of commercial contracts and commercial property work, including:
· Drafting, negotiating and reviewing commercial contracts, including construction, service consultancy and IT contracts;

You will be a 3+ PQE lawyer with good experience of commercial contracts and some knowledge of commercial property matters, available ASAP.
