In-House Commercial Lawyer - 5 to 8 years PQE
Six-month contract (London) Immediate start
Full or part time with one to two days based in central London.
This is a rare opportunity to work as a member of the in-house legal team of a well-known pharma/bio business based in central London. You will lead on a broad range of commercial transactions, working with a small in-house team of commercial lawyers. Typical matters will include general commercial contracts, supply chain, in-licensing of products, product development agreement and regulatory matters, across many geographies.
About you
To be successful you will need the following skills and attributes:
You must be a qualified lawyer in the UK or another comparable jurisdiction. Lawyers with less than 5 years PQE are unlikely to have acquired the experience needed. A strong technical legal background is a given and this is likely to have been gained with a leading practice, ideally with some in-house experience as well.
You will need to have a good understanding of and exposure to a wide range of commercial contracts– reviewing, drafting and negotiating, with robust drafting capability and strong attention to detail.
Importantly, you will need to be a good fit; so, as well as being charismatic and personable, you will also be highly motivated, client focused and will have a demonstrably commercial approach with plenty of initiative.
The position is open now and we are keen to identify the right person and get them in place as soon as possible. So, if this resonates with you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
