Job Description:
Your new company
You’ll be joining a respected local authority legal team that plays a vital role in supporting the community. This is an opportunity to work within the contracts and commercial team to work on high-value, high-profile projects that make a real impact across the community, and contribute to the delivery of high-quality public services.
Your new role
As a senior lawyer, you will manage a complex caseload and provide high-quality legal advice on a wide range of matters. This includes drafting and negotiating contracts (including ICT and construction), advising on public procurement, PFI academy transfers, TUPE, waste management, and other commercial work. You will also supervise other lawyers, ensuring robust governance and supporting major local authority projects. This is an excellent opportunity to develop both technical expertise and leadership skills.

You will be a qualified Solicitor, Barrister, or Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives and have a current practising certificate. Experience in commercial contracts and UK public procurement law is essential, along with knowledge in at least two of the following areas: local government law and procedure, company law/joint ventures, PPP/PFI/academy conversions, TUPE, subsidy law, intellectual property, or construction law. A positive, team-oriented approach and strong drafting skills are also key.
What you’ll get in return
