Qualified solicitor with sound experience in a commercial role, minimum 4 years’ PQE
*
Sound knowledge of contract law, ideally gained from training in a City or major regional firm, preferably with a blend of in-house experience

*
Positive, proactive and solution-orientated with a desire to learn
*
Strong relationship building and communication skills – diplomatic but comfortable challenging as needed
