Senior In-House Counsel

4 months fixed term role, possibly longer

Flexible & remote working

We are looking for an experienced (ideally 6+ PQE) commercial lawyer, to support one of our clients. They are a well-known organisation with an established in-house legal team. Working for Ortolan Legal, but embedded (remotely) with our client's legal team, this is an opportunity to exercise your skills with a high quality and interesting workload. The assignment we need you for is likely to last for at least 4 months and we are looking for someone who is available to start work within the next few weeks.

A degree of flexibility is possible in this role which will be well remunerated. Remote working is supported, so candidates can be based anywhere in the UK.

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 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 alongside our client's established in-house legal team. You will also find yourself working closely with stakeholders across the business.

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.

By applying for this role, your details will be sent to Ortolan People, who 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.
