Your new role
This role will involve the successful candidate being a source of support across a wide range of commercially orientated work. With the opportunity to work in conjunction with a number of partners across the Commercial team, you will be exposed to matters covering several aspects of contract, company, IP/IT and data law. Previous experience across all or any of these specific areas would be preferred, and any required training / supervision will be implemented according to the successful candidate's level of PQE / relevant experience.
What you'll need to succeed
- Qualified lawyer at any level with previous commercial law experience, preferably in contracts, company, IP/IT and data law.
- Excellent academics, including a minimum 2:1 at degree level.
- Excellent client communication skills.
- Good analytical, research and problem solving skills.
- An ability to work collaboratively as well as independently along with an ability to effectively prioritise.
- A willingness to learn and adapt.
- Attention to detail and an ability to work towards tight deadlines.
What you'll get in return
Salary will be bespoke depending on the successful candidate's level of experience. Although this role will be based out of my client's Newcastle office, there is the potential opportunity for this role to be performed out of the Leeds office. Depending on the successful candidate's level of experience, there will be the opportunity for remote / hybrid working.
