This UK Law Firm is one of the largest in Scotland and is currently seeking an additional Lawyer to join its In-House Legal Team in Edinburgh, which is part of the firm’s wider Business Assurance division.

The successful candidate will work closely with In-House Counsel and will be responsible for handling various in-house matters, including risk management and legal practice, data protection, regulatory issues and commercial contracts. Key tasks will include:

• Keeping up to date with changes to law and regulation and supporting the business to make the necessary changes to comply.
• Drafting and amending policies and procedures.
• Working with the Internal Business Assurance team (quality assurance, internal audit).
• Ensuring compliance with Law Society of Scotland and SRA requirements.
• Reviewing and negotiating supplier contracts (supporting the Procurement Manager).

To be considered for this position, you will have between 1-3 years’ PQE with experience in commercial contracts and legal regulation, preferably gained within an in-house environment. However, this is not essential, as long as candidates have a genuine interest and can demonstrate enthusiasm in this area. Previous experience in risk management would be advantageous but is not essential.

If this position could be of interest, please do not hesitate to contact either Frasia or Teddie for an initial and confidential discussion. (Assignment 15928)
