Mid-Level Commercial Contracts Lawyer (6-Month Contract)

London | Hybrid (3 days office) | Start ASAP

We’re supporting a global real estate investment platform backed by a leading private equity sponsor, looking to bring in a mid-level commercial contracts lawyer on an initial 6-month contract.

You’ll join a busy, high-performing legal/commercial team operating at scale across a large portfolio. The role is heavily focused on high-volume contract review and turnaround, particularly engagement letters and similar commercial agreements.

The work:

  • Reviewing and redlining contracts against established precedents
  • Turning around high volumes of standardised agreements
  • Supporting on wider commercial contracts (e.g. MSAs, broker agreements, variations)
  • Occasional drafting, but primarily adaptation of templates

What they’re looking for:

  • UK (or common law) qualified lawyer
  • Strong grounding in commercial contracts
  • Comfortable working at pace in a process-driven environment
  • Able to operate independently with minimal supervision

This suits someone who enjoys structured, high-volume work and can quickly get up to speed in a fast-moving team.
