Our client is looking for an In-house Legal Counsel / Commercial Lawyer to join their highly regarded legal team. This is a varied role involving drafting and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts and agreements. You will also be advising and assisting the business on a wide range of other legal matters.

• Ability to manage competing priorities and stakeholder expectations
• A UK qualified solicitor with 2 to 4 years PQE

In-house experience is desirable but not mandatory; private practice lawyers seeking to move in-house with strong business and commercial skills are also considered.

While 2-4 years PQE is the guideline, applications outside this range with relevant experience are welcome.
