Job Description
An established UK business with offices around the country and work overseas is adding a part-time solicitor to its small in-house legal team. You can be based in either Glasgow or Cardiff.
n
Part-time roles at this level are usually a full-time workload with a discount attached. This one is not. It is a newly created position, scoped from the outset as three days, brought in to give an experienced General Counsel some proper support rather than to replace someone who has left.
n
The work is commercial contracts and the compliance that sits around them.
n
n
Day to day:
n
n
• Reviewing and marking up client and supplier agreements
n
• Keeping documents moving, chasing comments and getting things over the line
n
• Flagging where the business is exposed on contract, insurance and regulatory risk
n
• Drafting the paperwork that sits behind all of it
n
• Being a sensible, approachable person for colleagues to come to for a steer
n
n
What matters to them:
n
n
• You understand contract and commercial law and how compliance works in practice
n
• Construction contracts exposure would be helpful
n
• You can draft properly without someone checking every line
n
• You can hold several things at once and ask when you need input
n
• You explain legal points clearly to people who are not lawyers
n
• You are measured about risk rather than reflexively cautious
n
n
They are open on level and on how you got here. Solicitors and legal executives are equally welcome, and the route to qualification matters less than how you work.
n
n
Package:
n
n
• £40,000 to £55,000 full-time equivalent, pro-rated for three days (approximately £24,000 to £33,000 actual)
n
• Three days a week, Glasgow or Cardiff
n
• Hybrid once you are through probation, roughly half your time in the office, with flexibility
n
• Profit share scheme, open to everyone
n
• Strong benefits and funded development
n
n
