Solicitor / Legal Counsel

CPI is looking for a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive to join its legal team on a permanent basis, providing practical legal support across a range of commercial activities.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified legal professional with a background in commercial contracts, whether already working in-house or looking to make the move from private practice. We are looking for someone who can build strong relationships and become a trusted legal partner to the business.

The work will be varied but will predominantly involve reviewing and drafting commercial agreements, including non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), conducting legal research and providing day-to-day legal advice to internal stakeholders. A sound understanding of intellectual property will also be important for this role. Knowledge or experience in other areas, such as data protection, employment law, regulatory matters or litigation, would be beneficial, although not essential. The successful candidate will gain exposure to a wide range of commercial and contractual matters while working closely with colleagues across the organisation.

What you'll be doing

• Reviewing, drafting and negotiating NDAs and other commercial agreements.

• Providing practical legal advice to colleagues across the business on contractual and commercial matters.

• Conducting legal research and summarising findings for internal stakeholders.

• Assisting with intellectual property, contract law and commercial legal matters.

• Supporting the wider legal team with ongoing projects and business initiatives.

• Assisting with the maintenance of legal templates and documentation.

• Working collaboratively with teams across the organisation to provide practical and commercially focused legal support.
