A number of opportunities have arisen for Commercial Lawyers to join a devolved government on a fixed term contract. As a Commercial Lawyer, you will play a central role in advising on complex and high-profile matters of commercial law and projects of national significance.
To be considered, you must be qualified to practise as a Solicitor, Barrister or Chartered Legal Executive in England and Wales and must have a minimum of 3 years post qualification experience. Preferably you will have some of the following experience:
* negotiating and drafting commercial agreements and grants;
* debt and/or equity financing and investment;
* negotiating, drafting, interpretation and enforcement of security documents associated with grant, debt and equity financing;
* and/or public/private partnerships and joint ventures.
These roles can be full time or on a job share basis. These roles are fixed term contracts of up to 2 years. These roles are offered on a fully remote basis but there are dedicated hub offices (across Wales and London) should you want/prefer to work from an office. These are Grade 7 positions with a starting salary of £58,918.
