Senior Commercial Lawyer / Partner Role

Legal 500

Commercial Boutique Firm

London

Our client, a specialist corporate commercial firm that is modern and progressive, is looking for a Senior Commercial Solicitor or Partner to join their growing team.

The perfect person will be a solicitor with experience in commercial law and an interest in growing their own team. Business models are developing at a pace bringing new requirements for legal support. The role is newly created to respond to increased demand for commercial work. A client following would be advantageous. The role is full time and based at the central London office with flexible working.

You need to have the ability to deliver to tight budgets and communicate the value add for clients. Many of their businesses are young start ups - usually looking for someone who acts as their in-house counsel to guide them through a very wide range of commercial questions.
A brief outline of the job includes:
* Reviewing and drafting commercial agreements with focus on emerging trends such as commercial contracts for trading platforms, subscription models, and new ways of trading on-line.
* Building the specialism around GDPR and its application to commercial contracts.
* Data theft including breach of confidential information, misuse of intellectual property and personal data.
* Contentious and non-contentious intellectual property work.
* Cease and desist work.
* Development agreements for apps, software, joint ventures and other collaboration.

* Relevant experience is essential.

* Vision and ability to grow the practice area and build a team.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a successful firm which has grown by around 20% per annum. For more information, please apply or get in touch with Catherine Knowles on 0203 151 2151 or at Catherine.knowles@search.co.uk
