A rare opportunity for a commercial lawyer to step into a consultancy model with an existing and established stream of work from day one.
Unlike many consultancy platforms where lawyers are expected to build entirely from scratch, this opportunity offers immediate access to quality SME commercial work alongside genuine scope to expand and shape the offering longer term.
The role would suit someone who:
• wants greater autonomy and flexibility
• enjoys building client relationships
• wants ownership of their own desk/workload
• is interested in consultancy without the usual uncertainty around workflow
The work is broad commercial / company commercial work including:
– commercial contracts
– SaaS/subscription agreements
– e-commerce matters
– general SME advisory work
– occasional corporate support work
Key points:
• Existing workflow from the outset
• Significant scope to grow and expand the commercial offering
• Flexible consultancy structure
• Full autonomy to shape and develop the role
• Back-office support already in place
• No requirement to be office based full-time
Likely to suit a commercial lawyer from either private practice or in-house, circa 6+ PQE, although flexibility exists for the right individual.
