Job Description

The work is likely to include the negotiation of complex commercial agreements, supplier and outsourcing arrangements, technology and services contracts, strategic projects, and day-to-day advisory support for senior stakeholders. The opportunity will likely suit Lawyers who are pragmatic, delivery-focused and willing to 'roll their sleeves up' to help manage competing priorities and firefight where necessary. It will appeal to commercially minded Lawyers who enjoy variety, autonomy and becoming embedded within the business. Assignments are anticipated to operate on a hybrid working basis, primarily within London, and competitive day rates (inside IR35) are on offer.
