Our commercial services group acts for a wide variety of clients, ranging from household names to small start-ups. Working as a extension of their clients’ teams, the group provides clear, practical legal advice to help manage risk and enable clients to focus on running and growing their businesses.
The team works across a broad range of sectors, including technology, manufacturing, retail, leisure and professional services, as well as charities and public-sector organisations such as schools.
They advise on a wide spectrum of commercial law matters, including supply and purchase contracts, information law, e-commerce, intellectual property licensing, IT agreements and outsourcing.
The role
This is a supporting role with a varied workload across a range of commercial work areas. You will be involved in drafting and reviewing commercial agreements and advising on compliance issues, including data protection, e-commerce and other relevant commercial laws.

The role sits within our hybrid working arrangements, combining office-based and remote working.
