We are looking for a qualified Solicitor with substantial experience in law and practice in this area. This role is ideal for those interested in developing and enhancing their skills while undertaking quality and varied work.
You will work as part of a team of Contract Lawyers to provide proactive legal advice on issues including 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 participate actively in team management, deputise for the Principal Solicitor, and contribute to delivering first-class legal services.
If you are an effective, dynamic individual with experience in managing and supervising people, and can motivate others while working in a team, we want to hear from you!
Shortlisting Criteria:
* You are a Solicitor, Barrister, or Fellow of CILEX, eligible to practice in England and Wales, with a current practicing certificate.
* Experience in negotiating and drafting construction contracts, service agreements, and facilities management services.
* Ability to provide solutions-focused advice and learn quickly about new subjects.
* Effective team working and managing priorities to meet statutory deadlines.

The role is hybrid, with remote work considered. Occasional office attendance may be required, and the candidate will need to collect their laptop from our Reigate office on their 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.
You will contribute to the wider management of Legal Services, exemplify the council's values, and deliver innovative solutions with minimal supervision.
