Senior Commercial Lawyer – UK Government
We’re working with a leading international professional services firm looking to appoint a Senior Commercial Lawyer to its established legal team.
This is a permanent growth hire, reflecting the continued expansion of the firm’s work across the UK public sector.
It’s a broad, senior business-partnering role covering:
- UK Government contracts, tenders and procurement
- Public sector frameworks and call-off agreements
- Complex commercial negotiations and contract risk
- Strategic advice to senior business stakeholders
- Supporting major government opportunities from initial bid through to contract delivery
The firm is looking for someone with significant UK Government/public sector contracting and procurement experience.
Just as important is mindset. They are looking for someone commercial, pragmatic and solutions-focused, who is comfortable navigating grey areas, assessing risk and helping the business find a way forward.
The culture is highly collaborative and genuinely business-facing, with Legal seen as a partner to the business rather than a traditional legal function. It would particularly suit someone who enjoys the pace and variety of professional services but is looking for an environment where they can have real influence and help shape commercial decisions.
The legal team also takes a progressive approach to technology and AI, using it to support more efficient ways of working.
This could suit someone currently working in-house, within professional services or in private practice who is looking for a highly commercial role with significant exposure to the business.
