Job Title: Commercial Lawyer

Location: Ipswich


About the role

We’re looking for a Commercial Lawyer to join our expanding Legal team in Ipswich. Your role will be to support our senior in-house lawyers by dealing with a broad range of legal matters of a corporate / commercial nature. Our Legal team works collaboratively with our operational and central function teams and with no two days being the same there will always be new challenges to embrace.


What we're looking for

  • A strong grounding in the drafting and negotiation of a wide range of commercial contracts including customer and the reporting of contractual risk to clients / internal stakeholders.
  • Some experience or a basic grounding in negotiating and advising on other general commercial matters whether in relation to data protection, IT agreements, commercial disputes or otherwise.
  • A commercial and pragmatic approach that allows you to make informed decisions autonomously.
  • Strong communication and influencing skills, allowing you to communicate complex legal issues in a way that suits the audience’s needs.
  • You will be a qualified solicitor with up to 5 years PQE*, although we are also happy to consider applications outside of this PQE range.

In-house or secondment experience would be helpful but not essential.


*We use PQE levels as a guide to the level of experience required for the role, and this does not prohibit applications from candidates who can demonstrate the necessary skills and experience that fall outside of this range


Every candidate brings a unique mix of skills and qualities to the table. We're all about inclusivity and embracing diversity at OCS. If you meet some of the requirements but not all of them, please don't let that put you off applying. Your distinct perspective and strengths could be a fantastic addition to our team.
