Job Description:
We are looking for a qualified Solicitor with substantial experience in this area of law and practice. This role offers an opportunity to develop and enhance existing skills through varied and quality work.
You will work as part of a team of Contract Lawyers to provide proactive legal advice on issues including, but not limited to, Public Contract Regulations, Company law, Subsidy Control, NEC and JCT construction Contracts, and general contract queries. You will manage a full, varied, and demanding caseload.
Senior Lawyers will play an active role in team management, deputising for the Principal Solicitor, and contributing to the delivery of first-class legal services.
We are seeking an effective, dynamic individual with some experience in managing and supervising others, capable of motivating a team.
Shortlisting Criteria
Applicants must be Solicitors, barristers, or Fellows of CILEX, eligible to practise in England and Wales with a current practising certificate. Experience in negotiating and drafting construction contracts, service agreements, and facilities management services is required. The candidate should be able to provide solutions-focused advice, learn quickly, and manage priorities effectively. Leadership and client engagement skills are essential, including advising Members and Senior Officers of the Council.
The role is hybrid, with remote work considered. Occasional office attendance may be required, and the candidate will need to collect their laptop from the Reigate office on the first day.
The role involves managing a team of lawyers, providing leadership, supervision, and expert legal advice to the County Council, its members, officers, and committees. The role supports the wider management of Legal Services, embedding the council's values and behaviours.
You will manage a demanding caseload, deliver innovative solutions, and support the council's goal to reduce reliance on external legal support. Advocacy work may be required. The role also involves advising the Monitoring Officer on legal or procedural issues and contributing to staff training on legal matters.
