Perfect first inhouse role for a corporate/banking solicitor | fully remote

• An international organisation is looking to hire a corporate, banking or investment funds solicitor from private practice into their inhouse legal team, joining as Senior Legal Counsel.
• As Senior Legal Counsel, you will report directly to the Chief Legal Officer and have managerial responsibility for a Legal Counsel and paralegal in the team.
• The work on offer is international in scope (and very high calibre) - you’ll support this organisation’s activities across the globe, with the option for international travel (if you want it).
• The role is broad in scope, and work on offer will span commercial contracts of various types (terms of business, supplier and third-party outsourcing contracts, NDAs, licences, consultancy agreements and corporate/finance transactional documentation); supporting on corporate governance and regulatory matters – including data privacy
• This role can be performed on a fully remote basis from anywhere in the UK. Occasional travel to UK offices will be required, however this will be very infrequent and will be on a basis which works for you. This organisation has UK offices in Edinburgh and London, which you can use as you wish if you prefer being office based.
• No time recording and no annual targets. No prior inhouse experience is required, either – just a keen desire to transition to an inhouse role.
• You’ll join a company which is revered for its culture – it has a very low attrition rate; people who move here stay for a very long time – they are very well paid; promotions pathways are transparent and fair; working hours are very reasonable and they are always made to feel valued for their contribution.
• Leave behind the long hours and unpredictability which comes with being a transactional lawyer in private practice, and get your life back (whilst still making good money).
