Commercial Solicitor

Commercial/Technology Associate
2 PQE plus
Legal 500
London

My client, a Legal 500 boutique city law firm, are seeking a Commercial/Technology solicitor to assist their busy team. Ideally you will have at least 2 pqe.

You will assist with B2B contracts, outsourcing, distribution and consultancy agreements. You will be confident acting opposite blue chip companies and their legal representatives. The majority of clients are in the IT industry but you will provide advice to clients in other industries.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a Legal 500 Chambers rated firm who have an excellent reputation in the IT industry. You will have a genuine desire to work with a client base led by technology companies and will join a team working with businesses at the forefront of technological innovation. The firm is growing steadily, along with reputation in the tech sector - they have been consistently ranked in the Legal500 for many years alongside firms many time their size.

The non-contentious IT/Commercial Contracts team currently comprises two partners and two associates. You would be reporting to the head of the department, but they are looking for someone who is able to work without a great deal of supervision and, in time, to start to build their own practice within the team. For the right person this is a great opportunity to carve your own career and help shape the future of our firm.

A genuine interest in data protection is a definite must, whilst having a background in commercial contracts, and particularly with a technology focus, would be a distinct advantage. The intention is to recruit a junior associate, however, a more experienced candidate would be considered if they have a client following or proven track record of business development.

Candidates who have trained or an in-house with an IT company or have completed training with a TMT group on private practice will have a significant advantage.
