My client seeks a junior commercial contracts lawyer (NQ+) lawyer to join a team which provides general commercial support to business stakeholders within the UK's national development bank.

As part of a highly collegiate team, you will work directly with senior management team across the group to support business critical projects.

Specifically, your role will involve working closely with my client's Commercial and Procurement team and working closely with a wide variety of stakeholders including legal and governance, risk and compliance. The role will demand that the successful candidate be able to provide real-time commercial advice and the ability to adapt and research new areas of law relevant to the business. Of particular interest to my client would be a candidate who has good knowledge of data protection, freedom of information law, IT and IP matters.

In order to be considered for this role, candidates should meet the following criteria:

• Qualified solicitor in England and Wales;
• Strong academics (minimum 2:1 law degree or equivalent);
• A "can do" attitude and an ability to adapt + work autonomously;
• An ability to manage expectations; and
• An ability to work collaboratively with various teams.

If working within a fast-moving organisation and making a real difference is what motivates you, then this could be the role for you. On offer is a generous remuneration package offering a wide range of benefits, including 30 days annual leave + bank holidays and a large employer pension contribution.
