Commercial Lawyer

I am working with a wonderful law firm based in the heart of Nottingham.

My client is a well-established award winning and accredited law firm, that has roots dating back 200 years.

With a plan to develop and build the Commercial side of the practice, 2021 is set to be an exciting time for the firm, which wishes to hire in this area to grow a strong team to complement its renowned Private Wealth practice.

The firm is renowned for the flexibility offered to its employees and guarantees much of the time will be working from home, but the office will remain open for those who wish to use it, but as times change due to covid, the firm is focused on ensuring its employees are comfortable and able to work from home.

The positions available within the firm are for those who can offer solid experience in Commercial law - providing advice to businesses of all sizes and sectors.

Specific areas:

• Business Ts & Cs

• Partnership and Shareholder Agreements

• IP

• Agency Agreements

• JV Agreements

• Technology

• Franchising

The successful candidate will have the following:

• Qualified Solicitor (UK)

• Offering a minimum of 4 years PQE from a commercial law firm

• Strong communication skills

• Good academics

• Confidence in networking, representing themselves and the firm they work for

• Cross selling - referring contacts to colleagues in other areas of the firm

To be able to work autonomously

This is a hugely exciting opportunity for a lawyer who has grown tired of the large corporate law firms, who wishes to embrace a boutique law firm that prides itself on being a truly genuine "Family Friendly" law practice.

Those who have grown disenchanted with their current employers will find this environment refreshing and exciting.

The pathway to partnership is visible and clear. And support will be given all the way.

Please contact me for all information on the firm, and the team and this fantastic opportunity.

This is a cross section of some of the comments we have received:

"I have known Jane for a number of years now. She has never been pushy or simply interested in placing me in the first available job. Instead, she has focused on finding the right job for me, at the right time for me. I would recommend Jane to anyone."

"Tony has done an excellent job throughout. He is professional, courteous and thorough."

"Andrew was a pleasure to deal with completely professional from start to finish. He has been supportive, encouraging and did not attempt to pressure me in any way. I would not hesitate in recommending him to my colleagues and peers. Many thanks for your help!"
