MBNL is jointly owned by EE and Three, two of the UK’s leading and most innovative mobile operators. Established in 2007 as the industry’s first network-sharing joint venture, MBNL’s mission is to provide best-in-class mobile infrastructure services to EE and Three for serving their tens of millions of customers in the UK. Working at MBNL means being part of a team where you feel connected, valued, and supported.


Working as part of the wider Legal and Property Team, we are in search of a Commercial Legal Counsel to deliver legal advice, contractual review/drafting, and negotiation to support an array of commercial / procurement activities.


You will be supporting the commercial team with the delivery of some of the biggest contracts that MBNL is a part of. This includes the review and negotiation of statements of work with a variety of suppliers to ensure MBNL has the services to allow it to manage infrastructure on telecoms sites across the UK. The role holder will also be supporting with drafting and negotiating a variety of contracts within the IT space, in particular with new providers of industry leading SaaS products.


What you can expect to be doing:


  • Advising on the shape, structure and set up of commercial / procurement contracts.
  • Advising on, drafting, and negotiating the necessary documentation – always with strong attention to detail
  • Collaborating closely with internal clients and members of the shareholder legal teams to get contracts closed, including where needed, with the relevant shareholder approvals.
  • Working closely with internal clients and stakeholders to ensure timely updates, escalations of issues and identification of risks to relevant business, legal and executive leads
  • Managing external counsel, both in terms of managing resources and quality assuring outputs
  • Providing trusted and proactive legal expertise, both verbally and in writing, which is pragmatic rather than purist.


What we are looking for:


  • Qualified Lawyer (Membership of the Law Society of England and Wales or the Bar Council)
  • 2+ years PQE
  • Enjoyment of drafting and negotiating commercial contracts / making deals happen.
  • Highly organised, systematic and have the ability to thrive in a fast paced and at times pressured environment with tight deadlines.
  • Skilled, confident, hands-on contractual drafting and negotiation skills
  • Commercial and technical acumen
  • Willingness to learn and hands-on experience of using technology to assist with contract management.
  • Resilience, professionalism, and a can-do attitude to thrive in a pressured environment and/or an environment of constant change / process improvement.


Nice to Have:

  • In-house experience
  • Joint Venture experience / experience of interacting with shareholders.
  • Operating autonomously
  • Interest in the Infrastructure and/or Telecoms sector
