Job description

We’re currently looking for a commercial lawyer with 2-4 PQE to join our growing team in the UK.

Key experience and skills:

We’re looking for a qualified lawyer with around 3 years PQE in general commercial law, preferably having worked in a leading private practice or in-house environment in England or Wales.

The successful candidate should be confident to take ownership of most of their own matters, particularly in basic commercial law.

In addition, specialisation in any of the following areas would be favourably considered:

• Technology & IP contracts;
• Privacy, data protection and GDPR related work; and
• Employment law.

The successful candidate would also demonstrate the following key skills:

• Personable, with experience working directly with clients;
• Tech-savvy, able to operate our technology platforms;
• Independent, comfortable working autonomously; and
• Efficient, works smart and get things done.

Note:

We are a legal consultancy, not a regulated law firm. This means we can only provide services in specific areas of practice and do not handle disputes or litigation. However, this also allows us to consider a broader range of candidates for this role.

Since we can hire employees with international legal qualifications, UK qualifications are highly valued but not essential. Additionally, while experience within UK firms is a strong advantage, we also welcome applicants with experience in other common law jurisdictions.

Cultural Requirements

• Personable, with experience working directly with clients
• Tech-savvy, able to operate our technology platforms

Benefits

Our clients include all kinds of businesses, from local cafes to tech start-ups, so you’ll always have a variety of work. You’re given the opportunity to work across a range of areas of commercial law and take on a high volume of clients - super-charging your legal experience.

You’ll get to work autonomously while being part of an innovative and collaborative team.

We have a fully distributed international team and take flexible working seriously. Our general approach is that you can choose how you best work, whether it be from home, the office, or somewhere else. We allow and support working while travelling. We also allow working at flexible times of day, so you can fit your work around your personal schedule.

For us it’s more than just taking your laptop home - we know that it takes effective project management, communication and transparent accountability to make flexible arrangements work. We provide allowances for work from home equipment and coworking space access to help make this work.

We also have a range of benefits available to support your wellbeing. These include generous sick leave policies, company health insurance benefits and more.

Work Rights & Sponsorship

To be considered for this position, you should ideally have valid working rights in the UK.

Visa support may be available for the right candidate, but this is limited to those who hold a passport from Australia, New Zealand, or Canada - and have also practised law in that same jurisdiction.
