Locum Contracts Lawyer for University & Research Contracts

A UK university seeks an experienced Contracts Lawyer to join its legal team on a locum basis, based in Salford. You will provide commercial contract drafting, review, and negotiation across a broad portfolio, including collaboration and data sharing agreements.

You will work with procurement, research and partnerships teams, handling varied matters independently and explaining legal points clearly to non-lawyers. Prior university or public sector contracting experience is advantageous.
