Job Description:

Hi there, this is Mila Read from Found Legal where we specialise in in-house technology lawyer recruitment.

My client is a global Software company looking to hire a Senior Commercial Technology lawyer at 8+ PQE level.

Location / Remote

Company's offices are just out of West London (30-40 min from Waterloo).

The team meets for 1 day in the office once every 1-2 weeks.

The office is in a nice location by the river with its own garden and outdoor lunch area.

The role can be hybrid or remote for the right person (based in the UK, Ireland, France, Netherlands, Germany, or Belgium where the business also has offices).

Company

B-to-B Software company whose clients are other tech companies, with approximately 2500 employees globally.

Headquartered in Europe (no US late night calls).

Legal team headcount is approximately 10-12 lawyers.

Role

1. International (EMEA) commercial technology lawyer role with 70-80% of the work focused on supporting the company's sales activities.
2. Sales and Legal work in harmony: Legal has huge respect from Sales; they get involved in projects early, get invited to team off-sites, and are receptive to advice and training.
3. The company has a fantastic culture based on respect for the individual.
4. Since it's a smaller team, there is scope to shape your role (select areas of interest and develop them).
5. Excellent manager (I've known them for a few years) + a very supportive legal team.
6. Continuous learning and exchange of best practices.

About you

We are looking for an experienced commercial technology lawyer with 8+ years of experience (If you are more junior please get in touch).

Ideally with in-house experience (or client secondments) supporting Tech/Software vendors or IT Services companies.

A technically strong lawyer, drafter, and negotiator (all contracts are bespoke).

What you can expect

1. You will be working for a growing and well-established company with a fantastic culture in an international role.
2. You will enjoy excellent relationships with your commercial and legal colleagues.
3. You will have the support of an experienced and highly respected GC who will trust you and give you autonomy (great human, not a micromanager).
4. Great package that gets reviewed every year.
5. Hybrid or remote working.

Please share this job post if you know someone who meets the above profile (8+ PQE commercial tech lawyer with experience in Software / IT Services / IT Outsourcing).

If you are more junior but meet the requirements otherwise, please get in touch as I may be able to help.

My name is Mila Read, I am a specialist recruiter for in-house technology lawyer roles — join my network of 18,000+ in-house lawyers and follow for future opportunities.

Please note that if you are NOT a passport holder of the country for the vacancy you might need a work permit. Check our Blog for more information.
