The Opportunity
We are looking for the last member of our newly expanded Legal function here at Samworth Brothers. As a growing business we are not short on variety of work for the team and in this role you will be working closely with our Procurement colleagues. In this role you will be working with two Senior Lawyers to support commercial contracts but there will be an opportunity to increase the breadth of your experience in other areas of law.
You will be drafting contracts, negotiating and carrying out contract management to ensure that the group remains legally compliant and that commercial and regulatory risk is mitigated effectively. This role will require some travel within the UK, primarily within Leicestershire. This is a hybrid role, based out of our Oak Meadow Site on the outskirts of Leicester.
Key Responsibilities:
- Provide general and commercial legal support to businesses in the Group, including advice on tender proposals; contract drafting, review and negotiation; dealing with ad-hoc customer/supplier complaints; data protection matters; supporting with intellectual property and IT matters and providing first level support in relation to dispute resolution
- General commercial legal advice
- Drafting commercial contracts and other commercial documents
- Liaise with external advisors on discreet matters
- Support with monitoring and communication of legal updates/training across the Group and advocate best practice
The Ideal Candidate
We believe that success is built upon collaboration and diverse perspectives. At Samworth Brothers, we welcome candidates who are passionate about working together to achieve greatness. As a valued member of our team, you will bring the following skills and experience: -
- Qualified in UK law with 1.5+ years post qualification experience
- Experience in a non contentious commercial role
- Experience within an in house role would be an advantage but is not essential
- Ability to work at pace with multiple priorities and deadlines
We also want you to thrive in an engaging and inclusive work culture where you will have the opportunity to take on personal accountability and take pride in your work. We encourage positive communication, and the building of strong collaborative relationships is essential to every role.
Join us at Samworth Brothers, where you'll be more than just a team member – you'll be an integral part of our thriving family. Apply today and embark on an exciting journey with us!
