Assisting with disputes between the business, clients, and suppliers, and instructing external counsel when necessary.
Advising on legal developments and their implications for the business.
Supporting the Procurement Excellence team with supplier assurance issues.
Maintaining and updating standard supplier contract terms.

Professional and Personal Competencies/Qualifications

Fully qualified lawyer with a strong background in commercial contract law.

Solid expertise in data protection, competition law, TUPE, and intellectual property rights in commercial transactions.

Knowledge of the legal implications of off-payroll workers (agency, consultants, umbrella) is desirable.
Collaborative team player, proactive, and adaptable with a down-to-earth approach to working with others
