Job Description:

We are looking for a qualified Solicitor with substantial experience in this area of law and practice. This role offers an opportunity to develop and enhance your skills while undertaking quality and varied work.

You will work as part of a team of Contract Lawyers to provide proactive legal advice on issues including, but not limited to, Public Contract Regulations, Company law, Subsidy Control, NEC's and JCT construction Contracts, and general contract queries. You will manage a full, varied, and demanding caseload.

Senior Lawyers play an active role in team management, deputising for the Principal Solicitor and contributing to the delivery of first-class legal services.

We seek individuals who are effective, dynamic, with experience in managing and supervising teams, and capable of motivating others and working collaboratively.

Shortlisting Criteria:

• Qualified Solicitor, barrister, or Fellow of CILEX, eligible to practise in England and Wales with a current practising certificate.
• Experience in negotiating and drafting construction contracts, service agreements, and facilities management services.
• Ability to provide solutions-focused advice and learn quickly about new subjects.
• Effective team working and managing priorities to meet statutory deadlines.
• Leading and contributing to client and project meetings with excellent client care and organisational skills.
• Advising Members and Senior Officers of the Council.

The role is hybrid, with remote work considered. Occasional office attendance may be required, and the candidate will need to collect their laptop from our Reigate office on the first day.

This role involves managing a team of lawyers, providing leadership, supervision, and expert legal advice to the County Council, its members, officers, and committees.

The role contributes to the wider management of Legal Services and models the council's values and behaviours.

You will manage a demanding caseload, delivering solutions with minimal supervision.

You will support and assist in managing the team and resources, aiming to reduce reliance on external legal support. Advocacy may be required.

You will assist the Monitoring Officer in advising the Council on illegality or procedural defaults.

The role includes contributing to staff training within the Council on legal matters and emerging issues.
