With five offices spanning Hertfordshire, Essex and London, Attwaters Solicitors is a respected regional law firm with origins dating back well over a century. Our vision is to be the ‘go to’ private wealth legal practice in our region, through our commitment to excellent client care, integrity, teamwork, innovation, quality and respect.
In order to achieve our vision, we need people who are committed to excellence. We are experts at what we do and we’re looking for people with the ambition, dedication and work ethic required to become leaders in their field.
But we also know that our people have a right to expect excellence from us. That’s why we are dedicated to providing our staff with a nurturing environment, a structured career path that offers clear opportunities for progression, and all the support they need to thrive.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced candidate with three to six years PQE (although pre-qualification experience will be considered) and a with a proven track record of running their own case load.
The candidate will ideally have experience in both corporate and commercial work with a keen interest to develop their commercial skills and practice. This is a huge opportunity for the right candidate to shape the future of the firm’s commercial offering.
The candidate will ideally be able to demonstrate that they have worked with clients on a broad range of commercial matters, to include (but in no way limited to) contracts, tender processes, franchise agreements, distribution agreements and e-commerce.
A working knowledge of UK GDPR and Data Protection rules, regulations and compliance would be advantageous.
The candidate must also be able to demonstrate that they have excellent communication and interpersonal skills as the roll will very much be client facing, helping the firm to deliver against its Service Pledge. Enthusiasm and positive energy in abundance is a must!
The candidate should be passionate about business development and will be expected to form part of the team (and the firm’s wider) marketing initiatives and will have the opportunity to shape the future of the team’s marketing and business development strategy.
Whilst supervision and mentoring will be provided, the candidate must be proficient in working independently and in handling their own varied case load.
The candidate will need to apportion their time effectively between fee-earning, marketing and business development, alongside supervising more junior members of the department from time to time.
