CONTRACTS LAWYER – 4-7 YEARS PQE – 12 months FTC

All the relevant skills, qualifications and experience that a successful applicant will need are listed in the following description.
London, Birmingham or Glasgow
Brief
We are currently looking to recruit a Contracts Lawyer to provide family leave cover for a year, starting around [mid-October 2024], who will ideally have 4-7 years’ PQE. The role can be based in London, Birmingham or Glasgow ideally, although other applications in other locations will also be considered. Whilst it is a full-time position, applicants wishing to work part time (4 days per week) are also encouraged to apply.
Background
The Central Procurement and Contracts (" CPC ") team combines procurement and legal contract expertise working together to support the firm in its sourcing, contracting and management of third party suppliers, both in the UK and other jurisdictions where the firm has a presence. On the contracts side, the team currently comprises a Legal Director, two Senior Contracts Lawyers, three Contracts Lawyers, and two Paralegals, all permanent roles.
On the procurement side CPC has a Head of Procurement, three Category Managers and a data analyst. The team is also supported by a dedicated administrative coordinator.
The team operates a centre of excellence approach working with representatives across the various business functions who have responsibility for sourcing and managing suppliers (referred to together as the 'buying community' and individual as ‘buyers’) using established policies, procedures and work practices to provide a 'best practice' approach to sourcing, contracting and supply management.
The role of the Contracts Lawyer is generally to draft, review, negotiate and advise on a wide range of commercial contracts in support of the procurement, contracting and supplier management activities undertaken by CPC and the buying community. The business functions provided with procurement and contract support by CPC are IT, info sec, Vario, facilities, HR and learning, business development, communications, knowledge, finance and the general counsel’s office. CPC also assists fee earners with procurement and contracting activities, to the extent that practice groups have sourcing requirements.
The Candidate Required
Strong academic background
4-7 years PQE in a general commercial or IT role is preferable, either in-house or private practice in a substantial, well established organisation, but we will consider those with less or more experience if otherwise ideally suited for the role
We are particularly keen to hear from individuals from a diverse background.
Key skills and abilities:
Technical excellence in contract drafting and amending and ability to apply skills to a wide range of commercial contracts for services and equipment
Experience dealing with all legal aspects of commercial agreements. In particular, experience of IT, IP and data protection related aspects highly desirable
Ability to formulate and draft service requirements and service level agreements based on input from the wider business
Commercial awareness and ability to prioritise and make sound judgements on contract issues and level of acceptable risk
Enthusiastic and proactive
Solution driven - ability to solve problems creatively and effectively
Ability to take responsibility and act autonomously – with appropriate supervision
'Team player' with strong (internal) client focussed approach
Excellent communication skills, both written and oral
Ability to plan, organise and prioritise tasks and projects
Confident in dealing with senior and junior staff alike
Ability to remain calm, controlled and resilient in a demanding environment
Strong Word skills
Good Excel and/or e-procurement/contract database skills advantageous
Main Duties and Responsibilities:
Contracts
Review, draft, amend and negotiate contracts from low to high value for all the business operations that CPC supports (as indicated above) handling the legal aspects in an autonomous fashion and seeking input from the senior lawyers in the team where required
Apply a pragmatic, commercial and, in some cases, risk management approach to all contract work, often against tight deadlines
Work with members of CPC and the buying community to understand and reflect business and commercial requirements into contracts and recognise key issues and priorities.
Procurement
Support sourcing activities and projects undertaken by CPC and/or the buying community in relation to contract work eg drafting term sheets and/or contracts for inclusion in Requests for Proposals issued to suppliers, and evaluating suppliers’ responses
Work as a member of project teams established for larger sourcing projects to provide contract support (as above) and advice
Assist with reports required from CPC eg monthly update report to Business Operations Directors.
Supplier Management
Assist with contract and commercial queries raised by CPC and buying community members and provide ad hoc contract advice as required
Input to supplier exit strategies
Provide contract advice and guidance to assist with resolution of supplier issues.
Process and Administration
Be familiar with and proactively guide members of the buying community on use of the firm's procurement gateway and e-procurement tool and compliance with procurement policy
Work with other members of CPC and the buying community to ensure that the supplier contract database is kept up to date, and all new contracts are recorded in the database
Get involved in the promotion of CPC and its processes and tools within the firm, and the development and maintenance of templates, tools and precedents for, and the provision of contract training to, the firm’s buyers
Dealing with supplier aspects of client tender submissions and client audit questionnaires
Working with the CPC team on CPC annual and quarterly objectives aligned with firmwide strategy.
What will we offer you?
We are a dynamic, friendly team who work together to produce outstanding results for our internal clients
We invest in our team and have access to first class training and third-party on-line resources (the same as are available to the fee earning lawyers)
We provide regular legal check-ins, wellbeing discussions and appraisals
A fast-paced environment with a wide range of commercial work, a unique opportunity to work directly with procurement specialists as part of the same team, the buyers and technical experts
Early responsibility and opportunities to develop internal client relationships.
