THE ORGANISATION
I am delighted to be once again working with a business that is integral to the success of the North East community. Our client is a well-established and loved transport institution interacting with millions of you annually.
Amongst the 1000+ strong workforce, they have a high calibre and well-led legal function which is integral to the success of the organisation. This team is currently looking to recruit an additional lawyer to help them continue their successes and achieve their commercial and legal objectives.
THE ROLE The workload is incredibly diverse. On a daily basis, the legal team deals with a range of complex issues which could comprise legal advice pertaining to procurement, contracts/commercial, technology and IT matters, property, construction, civil litigation, information governance, health and safety, and employment issues. As you can imagine, this is a highly varied and interesting role. You would instruct external solicitors on a range of matters, conduct internal training, and draft policies and procedures.
ABOUT YOU Given this diversity of matters coming into the team, we will be interested to speak to lawyers from a diverse range of backgrounds. Your technical background might be in commercial contracts, corporate, commercial litigation, projects, construction, or technology—all could be useful. What is key will be your strong ability in drafting, advising, and negotiation (in any of the above-related disciplines), your commerciality beyond understanding black letter law, and your confidence to operate with limited supervision. This is a highly complex business with many legal issues requiring an agile and enquiring mind.
ADDITIONAL With a superb benefits package including 27 days holiday, flexible/hybrid working, and a market-beating pension, this is a business that looks after its employees. This is a rare opportunity to join a business contributing daily to the success of the region, joining a legal team with a fast array of adjusting work to tackle.
If you are interested in learning more or reading a full job specification, please do get in contact as soon as possible.
