PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
We are looking to hire a bright, commercial lawyer able to fit into our team to enable us to manage a busy workload in line with the growth of the firm.
Working closely with the other members of the Commercial and Regulatory team in the OGC, you will play an important role in a broad range of complex, often strategic matters related to the Firm, its clients and the development and growth of the Firm's business. The team is based in the UK but supports the Firm globally.
THE TEAM
The OGC team comprises over 35 lawyers and other team members. It acts as the internal legal function of the Firm, overseeing regulatory compliance in the jurisdictions in which the Firm operates and supporting the Firm in managing legal risk in the work it undertakes.
The team has a number of sub-teams that handle claims and complaints, oversee negotiation of the Firm's professional indemnity and other insurances, ensure compliance across the firm with legal and regulatory requirements, manage conflicts, negotiate key supplier contracts for the Firm and terms that govern key client relationships and are involved in strategic activity and support the Firm's board.
This opportunity is for a Lawyer in the Commercial & Regulatory sub-team, with a particular focus on significant commercial contracts that the Firm may enter into. The role will also involve supporting the Firm's offices (present and future) outside of the UK, too.
The team, along with the rest of the Firm, has embedded a flexible and agile culture. Our working flexibly policy makes agile working accessible to all, whilst always balancing an individual's needs with the requirements of the team, the Firm and its clients.
