London | Hybrid (3 days office) | Start ASAP
We’re supporting a global real estate investment platform backed by a leading private equity sponsor, looking to bring in a mid-level commercial contracts lawyer on an initial 6-month contract.
You’ll join a busy, high-performing legal/commercial team operating at scale across a large portfolio. The role is heavily focused on high-volume contract review and turnaround, particularly engagement letters and similar commercial agreements.
The work:
- Reviewing and redlining contracts against established precedents
- Turning around high volumes of standardised agreements
- Supporting on wider commercial contracts (e.g. MSAs, broker agreements, variations)
- Occasional drafting, but primarily adaptation of templates
What they’re looking for:
- UK (or common law) qualified lawyer
- Strong grounding in commercial contracts
- Comfortable working at pace in a process-driven environment
- Able to operate independently with minimal supervision
This suits someone who enjoys structured, high-volume work and can quickly get up to speed in a fast-moving team.
