Senior Contentious Commercial 8+ (In-house)

Ref 02.1074

​

Our client is seeking a very commercially orientated contentious solicitor for this rare and exciting in-house opportunity.

​

Working as part of a dedicated and highly skilled in-house unit, the role is not so much about litigating major cases, as building them from scratch and hence the work is significantly commercial law and capital markets orientated rather than pure litigation. Experience of the asset management industry is imperative and you will clearly demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of share trading. Ideal candidates will have enjoyed a secondment with an investment bank as a senior lawyer. The role involves dealing with a whole range of stakeholders both domestically and internationally.

​

You’ll be charismatic and confident in your abilities and expertise, with a crisp and driven personality. The nature of the role places importance not so much on client following as an ability to demonstrate and excellent network of high level, domestic and international corporate and commercial contacts. Genuinely excellent working practices and administrative discipline are essential as there is no room for leaving lose ends.

​

The nature of the organisation will suit a polished and well-connected senior lawyer with a great deal of tenacity and an excellent, uncluttered career record.
