Job description

CORPORATE / BANKING & FINANCE SOLICITORS – OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE INHOUSE

INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION
1 TO 4 YEARS’ PQE
£75K - £90K
FULLY REMOTE
NO TIMERECORDING & NO TARGETS

An international organisation is looking to hire a corporate, banking or investment funds solicitor from private practice into their inhouse legal team, joining as Legal Counsel.

As Legal Counsel, you will report directly to the General Counsel but also have support from a Deputy GC and Senior Legal Counsel in the team.

The work on offer is international in scope (and very high calibre) - you’ll support this organisation’s activities across the globe, with the option for international travel (if you want it).

The role is broad in scope, and work on offer will span commercial contracts of various types (terms of business, supplier and third-party outsourcing contracts, NDAs, licences, consultancy agreements and corporate/finance transactional documentation); supporting on corporate governance and regulatory matters – including data privacy.

This role can be performed on a fully remote basis from anywhere in the UK. Occasional travel to UK offices will be required, however this will be very infrequent and will be on a basis which works for you.

No time recording and no annual targets. No prior inhouse experience is required, either – just a keen desire to transition to an inhouse role.

You’ll join a company which is revered for its culture – it has a very low attrition rate; people who move here stay for a very long time – they are very well paid; promotions pathways are transparent and fair; working hours are very reasonable and they are always made to feel valued for their contribution.

Leave behind the long hours and unpredictability which comes with being a transactional lawyer in private practice, and get your life back (whilst still making good money).

If this role sounds of interest, please either apply here or contact Dominic Roberts at QED Legal – all approaches will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
