Global business based in Kent are looking to hire an Interim Counsel, initially on a six month contract to cover an uplift in work volumes.
Please note that you will be required in the office at least 3 days/week so ideally the successful candidate will be based in Kent, East Surrey, East Sussex or parts of SE London. The offices aren't easily accessible via public transport so access to a car would be an advantage.
This is a classic generalist role involving drafting & negotiating a broad variety of commercial contracts, mixed in with other wide-ranging legal advice relating to property, company secretarial matters, litigation, pension and employment law.
The client is extremely flexible on the background of the successful candidate. You must be a qualified lawyer with at least 4 years' PQE, but background could be commercial, litigation, real estate or company secretarial. So this represents a fantastic opportunity for a lawyer to diversify their experience into new areas that they haven't previously covered. There is no upper limit on the PQE, so more experienced lawyers are encouraged to apply also
You must also be available to start immediately.
