We are currently working with a market-leading ALSP that is keen to speak with Senior Commercial Lawyers for a range of upcoming assignments with clients operating across the Financial Services sector.
These opportunities are likely to suit experienced in-house Lawyers who enjoy being close to the business, are comfortable operating within fast-paced and evolving environments, and are happy to take a hands-on approach in supporting legal teams through periods of high workflow, transformation, or change.
The work is likely to include the negotiation of complex commercial agreements, supplier and outsourcing arrangements, technology and services contracts, strategic projects, and day-to-day advisory support for senior stakeholders.
The opportunity will likely suit Lawyers who are pragmatic, delivery-focused and willing to “roll their sleeves up” to help manage competing priorities and firefight where necessary. It will appeal to commercially minded Lawyers who enjoy variety, autonomy and becoming embedded within the business.
Assignments are anticipated to operate on a hybrid working basis, primarily within London, and competitive day rates (inside IR35) are on offer.
Suitable candidates are likely to demonstrate the following:
1. Qualification as a Solicitor in England & Wales, ideally, although those qualified within other commonwealth jurisdictions will also be considered
2. Significant experience handling a broad range of commercial contracts and advisory matters within the Financial Services sector
3. Prior in-house experience within banks, insurers, asset managers, fintechs or other regulated financial institutions
4. Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to operate effectively within lean or high-performing legal teams
5. A pragmatic and solutions-focused approach, with the ability to work autonomously
6. The confidence to manage workload spikes, competing deadlines and business-critical matters
7. Availability to commence a new assignment immediately or at short notice would be advantageous
