Senior Legal Counsel - £110k, 9mth FTC

Global services business recruiting a Commercial Counsel to join their successful and collegiate team on a 9 month contract basis. It is a hybrid position - you must be available to come into their Central London office 2 days/week.

Reporting into the Head of Legal, the postholder will have the chance to get involved with a varied and high quality remit of work predominantly focused around drafting, negotiating and advising on commercial agreements. Your day-to-day will also extend to advising on corporate law, tech/digital matters, advertising/marketing issues, employment law, GDPR and small scale disputes.

The client is relatively flexible as to the background of the incoming person. The preference is for a UK qualified solicitor but applications from overseas lawyers will be considered, as long as you have already worked in the UK market. Experience drafting commercial agreements is essential. As long as you are a qualified lawyer with at least 7 years’ PQE (applications from all levels will be considered on merit), and have the aptitude to pick new matters up quickly and effectively build relationships across the business, your application will be welcomed.

The role requires somebody who can start in December (so realistically, applicants on notice periods of more than one week in their current role, cannot be considered)
