Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom The Very Group Full time
About the Role

This position presents a great opportunity for a qualified solicitor to work within a critical support function of a major digital retailer and financial services provider with exposure to a broad range of practice areas, with a particular focus on both commercial contracts and corporate governance legal support.

An understanding of commercial contracts, corporate law, or corporate governance is essential for this role, whether it be through PQE experience or in a training rotation. The role covers a wide range of contracts, including generalist commercial (IT, Retail, Partnerships) and Corporate Governance.


Key Responsibilities
  • Contract review, drafting, and negotiation for a broad range of different commercial contracts, including IT, consultancy, and general procurement.
  • Supporting the Head of Legal and Group Legal Director with legal projects impacting The Very Group.
  • Maintaining extensive knowledge of UK legal and regulatory developments affecting The Very Group's activities in the retail marketplace and identifying potential legal and regulatory change to ensure impacts are sufficiently understood and mitigated.
  • Maintaining effective relationships with all relevant business areas through a pragmatic, commercial, and business-focused approach and demonstrating a sound understanding of business processes within The Very Group.
  • Application of analytical and process skills, specialist knowledge, and innovative thinking to offer support and guidance on complex legal and operational problems.
  • Providing structured training and on-the-job guidance to staff in a variety of departments, raising awareness of legal and regulatory risks relevant to them.
  • Supporting a range of change projects within The Very Group.

About You

Successful candidates will be reliable and trustworthy, with the ability to build great relationships. We're at our best when we focus, support each other, and celebrate our progress.

Alongside the ability to demonstrate sound commercial awareness and judgment and logical problem-solving skills, you will have experience in commercial law with knowledge of corporate practices.

You will have effective communication and influencing skills, with the ability to convey the implications of complex technical issues to non-subject matter experts at all levels and the confidence to challenge and escalate appropriately.

You will be able to work independently and use your own initiative, while having the support of senior lawyers within the team, and you will be expected to manage competing demands and to work under pressure.
