You are customer focused with good negotiation and communication skills and ability to build strong relationships with internal clients and external agencies. You’ll have sound grounding in commercial law and will ideally have a good level of general legal knowledge in areas such as procurement. You’re able to think of creative solutions and provide guidance and answers rather than ‘the letter of the law’.
