Wales, United Kingdom Blake Morgan LLP Full time

Are you an experienced Commercial Lawyer with a legacy of making a difference and a passion for transformational projects? If so - we'd like to talk with you.

Blake Morgan has developed a reputation as a trusted partner to public and private sector clients and individuals across England and Wales across a range of sectors, including education, healthcare, transport, defence and security, local and national government. Our clients include NHS England, NHS Wales, Welsh Government, Met Police, Transport for Wales, local authorities in both England and Wales and large universities and higher education establishments in both England and Wales. Our well-established commercial has advised on some of the largest projects in the UK. The team are ranked Band 1 in the Administrative and Public Law category by Chambers and Partners and received a Public Law Nomination at the Wales Legal awards. We are one of 12 Blake Morgan teams currently ranked Tier 1 in the Legal 500 rankings. We are proud of our client base that spans major procurers and funders of projects to established technology-rich businesses and innovative start-ups, combined with a strong dedication to financial services.

What can you expect from us

The successful applicant can expect a balance of public and private sector work covering commercial contracts, due diligence and client support. You will be responsible for delivering large scale projects and commercial contracts and for handling your own caseload. This will include drafting and reviewing a range of commercial agreements, advising clients, delivering training and presentations as well as supporting other teams with due diligence and ancillary related commercial arrangements. This is an opportunity to become involved with a range of high-quality transactions working with household name clients from the private and public sectors as well as to network and contribute to practice development in Wales. Based from our offices overlooking Cardiff Bay, you'll become an intrinsic part of our friendly committed and highly respected team. We are the only law firm to appear in the Inclusive Top 50 Employers Index - and this ethos resonates through the way we work with our clients, our collegiate culture and our flexible working practices.

About you

You will be an experienced lawyer with 3+ years PQE, with a strong background in good quality commercial work across the public and/or private sectors. Your experience will probably have been acquired at a firm where you have been involved in good quality general commercial work including services and supply contracts, manufacturing, distribution, and technology contracts. You may be looking for an opportunity to return to private practice after some time in-house. Additional experience (or an interest in) telecoms, data protection, public procurement and subsidy control would be useful. You should have a commitment to supporting the growth agenda across Wales and be keen to embed yourself in our Commercial Practice by spending 3 days or more a week with your colleagues onsite in Cardiff.

Blake Morgan is committed to adopting Smart Working practices, where appropriate in the context of business needs, and empowering colleagues to maximise their performance. Whilst we strive to ensure consistency of approach across the firm, there will inevitably be some differences in working practices across our business groups and business support functions. We consider each colleague's personal preferences, working styles and development needs when deciding the best arrangements to suit our clients and colleagues. A typical approach would be a blend of working in your usual office, working from another Blake Morgan office, working from a client's office and working from home. A Guide to getting the most out of Smart Working Policy is available for our colleagues. You will be a core part of the team and able to access the technology, support, training and resources you require. Our lawyer teams are also well supported by our Business Services, Finance, HR, IT and Risk functions.
