This is an opportunity for an experienced lawyer to join an established in-house team within a large, household name business.
Client Details
The in-house team within a large organisation's Birmingham office.
Description
This is a varied senior in-house role working alongside other lawyers in the team giving advice to the UK business. The work will be extremely varied from general commercial contracts drafting through to ad hoc advice on issues around compliance, data protection, tax and treasury and litigation.
The team are looking to recruit a solicitor who is looking to work in a general commercial team, where you will be responsible for building relationships with internal stakeholders and advising senior people on all legal issues relating to the business.
You will be reporting in to the team's Deputy Head of Legal.
The legal function is an integral part of the UK business and they have remained busy throughout the pandemic. None of the team were furloughed and the flow of work has continued to grow. This will be a very busy and challenging role and the team are looking for a confident solicitor who can work independently and give pragmatic commercial advice to the business.
There will be flexibility in terms of remote working for the role. it is likely that post-pandemic there will be a mixture of office and home working.
The team is particularly interested in speaking with solicitors who have developed a broad skill-set either in private practice or in-house, ideally with experience in commercial litigation and potentially as well as general commercial contracts experience.
If you are looking to join a leading in-house function and are looking for a varied and busy role, then please get in touch.
Profile
Ideally the team are looking to recruit a Commercial Litigation Solicitor who is looking to move into a more general commercial role in-house but who would be able to help manage any contentious matters within the team. This is a Senior Legal Counsel role so it is likely that you will have at least 4 years' experience as a qualified solicitor. Our client will consider candidates with a range of PQE.
