The Group

The Group is a UK leader in the wholesale industry as well as operating a number of successful businesses in other areas. They have a small but highly experienced legal team which is seeking to expand with the business and would provide the ideal guidance for a junior commercial lawyer seeking to develop their experience and understanding of working closely with key stakeholders across a variety of commercial disciplines.

The Role

This is an ideal role for a junior commercial lawyer seeking to work closely with a growing Group, providing general commercial advice across numerous areas including:
· Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a variety of commercial contracts;
· Advising on advertising and marketing matters;

· Regulatory matters, including tobacco and alcohol regulations; and
· Civil and commercial litigation.

The Person

The successful applicant will be a 2-5 PQE lawyer with strong commercial experience, with some in-house experience being advantageous.

You will have good commercial acumen, be interested in providing impactful advice to senior stakeholders and be seeking a varied role with the potential to progress.
