We are looking to recruit a lawyer to join our Contracts and Major Projects team. You will be joining a small team of lawyers dealing with a variety of matters, primarily contracts, grants, procurement and company law.

You’ll be a qualified barrister, solicitor or legal executive who is a fellow of CiLEX with an impressive knowledge of contract and company law. You will be able to demonstrate experience and knowledge of subsidy control, company law, contract law and drafting a wide range of contracts including standard build contracts such as JCT or NEC4. Knowledge of Data Protection legislation would be an advantage but not essential. You will be able to work unsupervised and carry your own caseload. You’ll have excellent communication skills, refined analytical skills and the ability to deputise for more senior team members as required.

You will provide legal advice and assistance on a wide range of issues, varying in complexity, working closely with the Council’s departments in order to proactively co-ordinate, problem solve and manage a large number of instructions.
