I’m working exclusively with a global, private equity-backed technology business in the construction sector that is going through a period of transformation and growth.

This is a role for someone who can step into a live environment, pick things up quickly, and provide clear, pragmatic legal advice.
About You
* UK qualified solicitor with strong commercial legal experience
* Proven experience drafting and negotiating contracts
* Solid understanding of data protection and GDPR
* Comfortable working in a fast‑moving, evolving business
