Commercial Lawyers

Job description

 Our Commercial Law team is part of a busy legal department serving the fourth largest city in the country. The team enjoys a varied and stimulating caseload which helps our client departments achieve their key objectives.

We are looking to recruit three enthusiastic and hard working solicitors to deal with all aspects of legal advice and representation relating to commercial matters. We are open to applicants from either the private or public sector. If you want to put your experience and enthusiasm into practice as part of a hard working, friendly and supportive team, then this is an excellent opportunity for you. You will need to show initiative, but you will also be a key player in a team which is achieving good results and is highly regarded by the client departments.

This is a politically restricted post according to the terms of Local Government and Housing Act 1989.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly. It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.

Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
