About You

We are looking for a UK qualified legal professional who has a proven track record in commercial and corporate law. Ideally you will have gained this experience in-house, but we also welcome applications from those in private practice looking to make the move in-house.

You must have:

• Experience of advising on a variety of corporate and commercial legal matters
• A commercial mindset with an understanding of how legal issues affect businesses
• Strong background in commercial contracts
• High attention to detail with excellent communication skills.
• Confidence working independently but enjoy being part of a collaborative, supportive team.
• Proactive, adaptable, and comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

Experience with, or an interest in, technology or regulated environments in the UK and US would be highly beneficial but is not essential.
