Legal Counsel | 1–4 PQE | South West London | Commercial Contracts
We’re working with a fast-growing business in South West London that is looking to appoint a Legal Counsel (1–4 PQE) to join its small but highly collaborative legal team.
This is an exciting opportunity for a general commercial lawyer who enjoys variety and wants to play a visible role in a scaling organisation. The business has experienced significant growth in recent years, supported by a series of acquisitions, and is now focused on strengthening its platform as it continues to expand.
The Role
Working closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation, you will advise on a wide range of legal and business matters, with a particular focus on commercial contracts, which form the core area of the role, including drafting and negotiating a full range of agreements such as procurement contracts, customer agreements, B2B and B2C arrangements, and technology-related contracts.
You will also be involved in:
• Supporting the business with corporate governance matters across the group
• Advising on data protection and compliance issues
• Assisting with insurance matters, claims and litigation management
• Providing day-to-day legal guidance across operational teams
• Supporting legal work arising from recent acquisitions and ongoing integration projects
Given the size of the team, this role offers the opportunity to gain broad in-house exposure and become closely embedded in the business.
The Candidate
This role would suit a lawyer who is proactive, commercially minded and keen to build strong relationships across the organisation.
You will likely have:
• 1–4 years’ PQE
• A strong grounding in commercial contracts
• A good working knowledge of, or genuine interest in, data protection and compliance
• The ability to manage a varied workload and work closely with stakeholders
Candidates may be currently in private practice looking to make their first move in-house, or already working within an in-house legal team.
Why Apply?
• Join a high-growth organisation at a pivotal stage in its development
• Work in a close-knit legal team with real visibility across the business
• Opportunity to grow alongside the legal function as the business continues to expand
• Exposure to a broad mix of commercial, governance and operational legal work
If you’re a commercially minded lawyer looking for a role where you can really get under the skin of a business, this is a fantastic time to join.
