You will have good technical skills in commercial law and proven experience with life sciences businesses. You will be an enthusiastic and commercially-minded lawyer prepared to turn your hand to a wide range of work.

What skills and attributes would I need?

  • Excellent technical ability and the flexibility to apply legal and commercial skills to a diverse range of contracts and arrangements
  • Ability to build relationships with clients, potential clients and multipliers, providing outstanding client service with good listening, negotiating and questioning skills
  • Good time and paper management skills
  • Self-starting, with common-sense and initiative with an enthusiasm to work as part of a team in line with the firm's values
  • Excellent interpersonal and team skills, including ability to work with others, influence, persuade
  • Good research skills and IT skills, including an ability to use online information sources
  • An interest in commercial law and how it impacts on relationships between life sciences businesses
  • A thirst to understand what makes life sciences businesses work and an ability to ask the right questions about what clients are trying to achieve from their commercial relationships
  • An ability to understand the environment that clients work in and to deliver advice that advises
  • An ability to assimilate a lot of information quickly and focus on the key issues

Pre-employment screening

Please note that, in the event that we make an offer for a role, we will conduct pre-employment screening that includes, but is not limited to, a basic DBS check, right to work check, any disciplinary history recorded with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and a self-declaration to assess your character and suitability for the role. A full policy of the screening the firm undertakes is available on request.

Disclosure and barring service check and security clearance

This post is also subject to a satisfactory response from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) (to check for any previous criminal convictions and cautions) and, given the nature of the work-type, you may also be required to undergo national security vetting to SC level – the latter can be undertaken following commencement of employment.

And finally

Mills & Reeve is committed to building a diverse workforce and fostering an inclusive environment in which all our people can thrive. We hire people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes our firm stronger, and we have a collaborative culture that celebrates different perspectives and values respect for one another, working together, and openness and integrity. Our approach to flexible working means that we work in a way that achieves the right balance for our people, our clients and for our business.
