If you’re a Senior Commercial Lawyer looking for interesting, challenging and rewarding work in the tech, media and IP space, we are interested in hearing from you.

The commercial work we do is focused on a wide range of technology, media, innovation and telecommunications issues and projects for a range of clients from startups through to global corporates and government agencies. At any time, our commercial practice is working on emerging technologies, tech procurement and implementation, tech licensing and services, broadcast and communications arrangements, data privacy, biometrics, AI, cyber-security, fintech, and consumer law advice. We also get involved in commercial/corporate deals to create, transfer and exploit technologies and IP, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and licensing.

The nature of our work means we are often advising our clients on new and emerging issues which means our team are challenged with, and learn from, issues that they may not have encountered before.  This is why we love doing what we do.

About you

You’ll have 7+ years’ commercial experience in a high performing private practice or in-house team with a focus on a mix of technology, media, telecommunications, commercialisation of innovation, data security, data privacy.

Your stakeholder management, intellectual curiosity and rigour, and commercial acumen will make you a highly effective and pragmatic client partner. Our seniors expect to be engaged in team leadership, and partners will quickly come to trust your insights on both people and client matters.

If you’re thinking about the next career step and would be interested in a conversation about the opportunity to take that step with us, we’d love you to get in touch.
