What makes this role stand out?

• This is a commercial role with a difference; it is not traditional with very little drafting and a lot more advisory work.
• Our client specializes in the health care sector; you would be joining a team that is passionate about this area and is developing lots of complex work - advising on a huge array of commercial and public procurement matters.
• The team consists of a number of highly experienced and highly regarded individuals who are happy to share their knowledge and experience for learning and mentoring.
• Due to an expanding client list and increasing workloads, our client is looking for a new team member to play an essential, valued role in delivering the high-quality service expected by its clients.

Requirements

• This role would suit someone with good problem-solving skills who enjoys taking on a challenge and having a lot of responsibility.
• They have previously recruited from a diverse range of backgrounds, so if you don't have experience in the sector or in public procurement, don't count yourself out - the team is happy to chat to commercial lawyers with good contracts knowledge, who are interested in moving into this fascinating area of work.
• The successful candidate should have at least c.4 years + PQE in Commercial law; however, they are open to candidates outside of this bracket as long as the relevant knowledge/experience can be demonstrated.
