£Market

We are looking for an experienced lawyer to support one of our clients. They are a well-known international business with an established in-house legal team. Working for Ortolan Legal, but embedded with our client's legal team in central London, this is an opportunity to exercise your skills in an interesting international business with a high quality and interesting workload. The assignment we need you for is likely to last for at least 12 months.

A degree of flexibility and some remote working is anticipated in this role which will commence in October 2022.

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

  • You must be a qualified lawyer in the UK or another comparable jurisdiction.
  • You will have in-house experience at a senior level including management of a team of other lawyers. We will be looking for someone with the presence and communication skills to manage both internal and external stakeholders at the most senior levels.
  • A strong technical legal background is a given and this is likely to have been gained with a leading practice, as well as in-house.
  • You will need to have a good understanding of and exposure to a wide range of commercial contracts.
  • Technology experience and knowledge of the legal issues associated with outsourced services and SAAS will be an advantage.
  • 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.

Ortolan Legal is a very different law firm. We provide our clients with 'virtual' legal support and this is delivered exclusively by experienced solicitors. We give highly commercial and technically strong advice and we do this at a cost which compares extremely favourably with other, more conventional legal practices. Our client base includes businesses ranging from FTSE 100 household names and multinational manufacturers to proprietor managed companies in sectors as diverse as rail, logistics, professional services, manufacturing and high tech.

Our lawyers are supported by all the technology and resources they need to provide an excellent service. We are collegiate in the way we manage our business and we aim to put everyone in a position not only to achieve a great deal of job satisfaction, but also to really enjoy working with us.

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.

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.
