About the Role
We are looking for a Solicitor or Legal Executive to join our in-house legal team. This will be a varied and challenging role that offers the chance to make an immediate impact, reporting directly to our Head of Legal.
A key aspect of the role will be the provision of governance and company secretarial support to the Company, including:
* The support of existing committees and the development of new committees with appropriate terms of reference and other governance documents.
* Provision of support to the Board and Senior Leadership Team including the preparation of written resolutions and minutes and the compilation and monitoring of action logs.
* The provision of advice and support to ensure compliance with company law and the Company’s governance documents.
* Maintenance of the Company’s statutory and other registers and the development of systems to ensure robust and effective governance.
The role will also involve working flexibly with the other members of the legal team on a mixture of other matters such as:
* Periodic review, updating and control of standard terms and conditions of contract;
* Monitoring of legal and regulatory developments within the energy sector and submissions in response to industry consultations;
* Drafting and reviewing contracts including commercial terms with stakeholders, non-disclosure agreements, consultancy agreements and other contracts when needed by the business and advising on the enforceability and enforcement of the same;
* Advising on internal policies, processes, and procedures to maintain regulatory compliance and best practice;
* Advising on general commercial matters including supplier contracts, terms and conditions, data protection, customer complaints and general legal advice;
* Monitoring and mitigating legal risks;
* Assisting with the resolution of disputes.
The role will be based from our Jarrow office, covering our standard working hours of Monday to Thursday: 8:30am-5:00pm, and Friday: 9:00am-3:00pm with no evenings, no weekends, and an early finish every Friday.
What you’ll bring:
We are ideally looking for candidates with 3 – 5 years PQE, but we are open to applications from applicants with any level of experience who have the relevant knowledge and experience, together with the enthusiasm for this particular role. Experience in an in-house role or commercial setting is desirable, but not essential and we are happy to consider candidates seeking to move to an in-house role from private practice.
You will also have:
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills: you will be able to give legal advice in a clear, concise and well-organised manner tailored for different audiences.
* A measured and rational approach to problem solving exercising sound judgement and a solid business/commercial awareness.
* An ability to deliver under pressure and maintain a high level of performance in assigned areas of work.
* Flexibility to respond quickly and effectively.
* Good interpersonal and communication skills with an ability to develop strong internal and external relationships.
* A proactive approach, ambitious nature with a keen eye for detail.
* Willingness and ability to mentor and develop junior members of the legal team.
We believe in building an inclusive and welcoming workplace. If you're excited about this opportunity but your experience doesn't perfectly align, we encourage you to apply. You may be the perfect fit for this role or another within our growing team and we have the flexibility to tailor the role to the skills and attributes of the right candidate.
