Manchester, United Kingdom LegalVision IP NZ Limited Full time

LegalVision is a market disruptor in the commercial legal services industry. Our mission is to power the success of every business by delivering legal support that is proactive, affordable and commercial, and the key way we do this is through our industry-first legal services membership. We have assisted over 200,000 businesses across the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and we’re just scratching the surface.

If you are excited about the prospect of growing your career in an innovative and growing business that offers challenging work, a fast-paced startup environment, and impressive professional development and team management opportunities, then we’d love to hear from you

The Opportunity

We are looking for a 4+ PQE UK qualified lawyer to join our Corporate and Commercial team. In this position, you will assist our growing number of diverse clients with a varied range of commercial and corporate work. LegalVision’s clients operate in a range of industries, including SaaS/IT, healthcare, e-commerce, construction and recruitment.

Ideally, we are also looking for a versatile lawyer, with a broad knowledge base, who is also willing to be flexible and to assist our other practice areas from time to time. Our ideal candidate has a strong grasp of the UK’s data protection legislation (including the UK GDPR), as well as consumer laws. 

The role will also involve people management responsibilities for trainees and junior lawyers, so a genuine interest in coaching and developing others is a must.

This is an opportunity to practise law differently - without the inflexibility, micromanagement and facetime of traditional law firms - whilst continuing to work on challenging matters with interesting clients. You’ll enjoy the benefits of autonomy and flexibility, whilst working alongside legal experts who genuinely care about and are invested in your professional growth.

How You'll Help Clients
  • Drafting and reviewing commercial contracts, including supply agreements, manufacturing agreements, e-commerce documents, IT and software contracts, IP and licensing agreements, contractor agreements and referral agreements.
  • Drafting and reviewing Privacy Policies and Internal Privacy Manuals.
  • Advising on the GDPR, including responding to data subject access requests, data breaches, controller/processor arrangements, and AI implications.
  • Advising on consumer laws. 
  • Advising on company structuring, and preparing articles of association and shareholder agreements.
  • Assisting clients with general corporate governance, such as share splits, share issues and transfers
The Ideal Candidate
  • Qualified: A UK qualified lawyer with demonstrated experience in assisting commercial clients in a variety of commercial, corporate and privacy matters.
  • Attentive: Brilliant attention to detail; nothing ever slips through the cracks.
  • Efficient: Prioritises effectively; focuses on what matters; works productively.
  • Commercial: Demonstrates business acumen; cares about business growth (including helping to grow LegalVision further).
  • Collaborative: Gets a kick out of working with smart, fun and passionate people and learning from them.
  • Adaptable: Grasps new concepts quickly; improves every day; goes with the flow.
  • Service Orientated: Loves assisting clients and providing an amazing experience.
  • Optimistic: Sees the best in situations; is solutions focused; never gives up.

The Perks
  • Fast-paced startup environment with accelerated growth opportunities for high performers.
  • Talented and energetic teammates across the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
  • 25 days holiday (excluding bank holidays) plus contractual sick pay.
  • Annual budget to spend on external learning and development.
  • Regular team socials, drinks and meals.
  • Paid volunteering, birthday, and parental leave.
  • Vibrant office environment in Ancoats + WFH options.
