Job Description
Legal Counsel / Commercial Lawyer - Fixed Term Contract

Our client, a multinational organisation, is seeking a Legal Counsel / Commercial Lawyer to join their busy and growing in-house legal department for a 12-14 month fixed-term contract.

This role offers an excellent opportunity for a candidate eager to develop and progress their skills. You will handle a wide range of high-value, complex, and multi-jurisdictional commercial contracts and agreements.

Based in Yorkshire, the company offers hybrid working arrangements and is open to candidates willing to work in their offices 1-2 days per week.

Ideal Candidate Profile:
  • Be a UK-qualified solicitor with at least 4+ years PQE and a proven track record
  • Have strong experience in drafting and negotiating high-value, complex commercial contracts
  • Assist the business with other legal matters, including compliance, anti-bribery, and dispute resolution
  • Possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a commercial outlook
  • Capable of balancing legal risks with the business's commercial and operational needs

In-house experience is desirable; however, candidates from private practice with strong business and commercial skills are also encouraged to apply.

While 4+ years PQE is considered a relevant benchmark, applications from candidates with different levels of experience but relevant skills will also be considered.
