Life Sciences (Commercial/Procurement) Solicitor 4 PQE (New Offering in North West)

LIFE SCIENCES (PROCUREMENT & COMMERCIAL) SOLICITOR 4+ PQE

MANCHESTER (WITH HYBRID WORKING)

COMPETITIVE SALARY AND BENEFITS PACKAGE

Haggerty Jaques is pleased to present a fantastic opportunity for a lawyer to join an exciting new life sciences practice for the North West.

The Opportunity

This role will see you working at the forefront of developments within the life sciences sector.

The firm has a phenomenal reputation and a strong pipeline of high value, often very technical instructions from major players in the health, pharma, and social care sectors. Its well-established practice has advised on some of the largest projects in the UK. You will be acting for both public and private sector clients on high quality rather than volume instructions.

The role will involve working on a range of matters and strategic projects that are governed by public procurement law, as well as advising on commercial contractual matters.

You will be working closely with a partner, alongside running some matters independently.

The quality of work and client base coupled with the firm’s expansion into the North West and supportive, collegiate environment means there is enormous potential to make your mark and progress your career.

The Ideal Candidate

A lawyer with around 4 – 8 years’ PQE would be ideally suited to this role. You could have a background in private practice and/or have worked in-house for a commercial or public sector organisation.

The firm is alive to the fact that candidates may have a blend of relevant skills. It is envisaged that the ideal candidate will have some experience of regulated public procurement, experience of advising public sector clients (ideally but not necessarily within the health sector), and also some general commercial contracts experience. Experience of subsidy control law would be an advantage but is not essential.

The team is ready and willing to provide training and development and therefore lawyers who feel they may lack experience in one of these areas are still very much encouraged to apply.

What you can expect

You will be joining a brand new offering for the North West within a firm that is well established in other parts of the UK.

This is an opportunity to become involved with a range of high-quality projects working with household name clients from the private and public sectors as well as to network and contribute to practice development.

You can expect to be working on leading matters within a genuinely supportive and progressive culture. This is a firm that treats its people well and is neither stuffy nor hierarchical.

If this appeals to you and you have relevant skills and experience, please contact us in confidence for further details.

Any PQE levels referred to in our adverts are shown purely as a guide and should not preclude candidates with relevant skills and experience from applying.
