In House Legal Counsel - Commercial

In House Legal Counsel jobs in Bristol - Flexible working - Perm and 13 Month FTC available

Your new company
This leading global financial services provider is looking for two In-House Commercial Lawyers to join their Legal team in Bristol, to provide effective support to their business. One role is permanent and the other is a 13 Month Fixed Term Contract. You will be joining a busy, collegiate team; the roles offer flexible working and part-time/reduced hours for the right candidate. These are roles for commercial lawyers, ideally with exposure of the FS sector, however this is not essential. The team are working in a hybrid manner and anticipate that the successful candidates will need to come to Bristol 1-2 days per week, however there is some flexibility here for the right candidates.

Your new role
You will provide pro-active legal advice and influential insight, in a commercial way, to internal clients to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. There are many exciting projects afoot, with plenty of variety, learning and opportunity to work with several areas of the business. You will deal with all levels of stakeholders; particularly with partners in the procurement, digital, product, brand, marketing, HR, branch, charity and IT teams. These are great opportunities for ambitious lawyers to join a successful in-house team, and enjoy progression and career development.

What you'll need to succeed
You must be passionate about commercial law and will have previous experience in a similar position and will ideally have experience within the Financial Services industry. Our client is interested in hearing from candidates from both an in house or private practice background; if the latter then you will ideally have done a secondment, but this is not a pre-requisite. You will need to be able to provide pragmatic and fast advice to your internal clients, understanding their commercial and strategic needs. The role requires good influencing skills, commercial judgement and a pro-active approach and involves interaction with both junior and senior level executives.

What you'll get in return
There is free parking on site and a great benefits package on offer. This is a great opportunity to be involved in all aspects of a Financial Services organisation, so if you are looking for an in-house role with a leading team, then please get in touch with Harriet Chapman at Hays Legal for further information.
