Lawyers work from a home-office base and are fully supported by the latest in IT, telecommunications and web-enabled software as well as by first-class marketing and finance departments.  Regular team and client meetings, coupled with networking activity provide the interaction of an office environment but without the interruptions.

 

The firm has already attracted senior lawyers from City and regional Legal 500 commercial firms.

The firm is driven by a client focused, plain speaking approach to the law and embraces new technology to provide first-class legal services to a broad portfolio of regional and national clients. Serving an intriguing mix of technology businesses and traditional, family and owner managed businesses including partnerships and sole traders, the firm remains committed to its ongoing vision to identify and develop business in new market sectors.

The firm now seeks to appoint a senior commercial solicitor with at least 5 years PQE who will strengthen the team by providing specialist advice to a range of SME clients. Ideally based in the East or West Midlands, you MUST be experienced in business development, able to generate your own caseload through existing contacts, referrals and ongoing marketing activity. An existing following is essential.

Although flexible, the work will essentially include contract drafting (for on and off-line businesses), data protection and IP advice, developing software licenses and agreements, joint venture agreements and other general trading issues. Experience of company law, business structures and governance would be advantageous.

With technical ability that is beyond reproach, you will have a real understanding of SME businesses and sole traders and you must possess strong client development and networking skills. You will be a confident, self-motivated lawyer with excellent IT skills who enjoys working as part of an integrated team but who thrives in an autonomous environment.
