Commercial Lawyer 6-7 PQE - Hybrid role

Immediate start, 6 months FTC

This is a great opportunity to work as part of the in-house legal team of an international business based in central London.

We are looking for a capable and genuinely commercial lawyer for our client. It's an opportunity to exercise your skills in an interesting business with a high quality and interesting workload. The assignment we need you for is likely to last for 6 months but could be extended. You will be advising on a broad range of commercial contracts and issues.

To be successful you will need the following skills and attributes:

  • You must be a qualified lawyer in the UK or another comparable jurisdiction. Lawyers with less than 6 years PQE are unlikely to have acquired the experience needed, but if you are exceptional, please convince us!
  • A strong technical legal background is a given and this is likely to have been gained with a leading practice, ideally with some in-house experience as well.
  • You will need to have a good understanding of and exposure to a wide range of complex commercial contracts.
  • Importantly, you will need to be a good fit; so as well as being charismatic and personable, you will also be highly motivated, client focused and will have a demonstrably commercial approach with plenty of initiative.

For this assignment you will be working as a member of our client's in-house legal team. You will also find yourself working closely with stakeholders at all levels across the business and their clients. You will be expected to deliver commercially successful outcomes which reflect the risk appetite of the business, while operating with a high degree of autonomy. This is a hybrid role and you will be expected to work at least 2 days per week in their central London offices.

The position is open now and we are keen to identify the right person and get them in place as soon as possible. So if this resonates with you, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

If you would like to know more, please send your CV in confidence to Nick Benson at nbenson@ortolan.com.

By applying for this role, your details will be sent to Ortolan People, who are acting as consultants for the hiring company. Ortolan People are engaged to provide recruitment support in processing applications. We will endeavour to respond to all applicants within three working days. Occasionally for roles with a very high volume of applicants, this may not be possible.
