Detailed Description From Employer:
You’re a talented, confident lawyer seeking your next career move. You want to work on challenging and interesting legal projects, but you want to do it on your own terms. You’re seeking opportunities which allow you to grow as a professional but not encroach on your life outside of work. We hear you. Flexible Services from Pinsent Masons Vario provides legal professionals access to high-quality legal work with our firm and prestigious clients in a fully flexible way. Our growing bench of legal experts have a variety of skills, specialisms and experiences, but they all enjoy quality legal projects best suited to their skillset with unparalleled support. Opportunities to support our firm or our clients typically arise because of resource and skills gaps or as a way to resolve peaks and troughs in workload. With a prestigious client base, you can be confident you will be involved with challenging, rewarding and interesting legal projects whether you are supporting one of our firm’s practice teams or are on secondment with one of our clients.
We are now looking to expand our bench with an additional Commercial Lawyer with insurance industry experience and expertise in drafting a variety of commercial agreements including insurance distribution agreements. In order to meet the demands of the projects given by our clients you will also need to demonstrate the following:
- Admitted as a solicitor with a current practising certificate and strong academic background
- Experience gained with a reputable law firm or equivalent global in-house/secondment experience
- Early availability to start your first secondment
- Flexible, communicative and adaptable
- Enthusiastic about embracing new work cultures
- Able to rapidly develop close, trusting relationships
By joining the Vario Flexible Services bench, you not only join our community of like-minded yet diverse legal professionals embracing flexible working, but you’re also joining the wider international firm of Pinsent Masons. In addition to the dedicated support you’ll receive from our Vario Account Management Team, you’ll benefit from access to our partners and client relationship teams, professional development lawyers, library services and other firm resources. And the best part, you’re in full control of which clients you work with and the projects you undertake.
Work you will receive will come in the form of exciting medium to long term assignments, typically lasting at least six months and can suit those looking to work full-time, part-time or an hourly basis. Many assignments are performed in a hybrid capacity and some are performed remotely, supporting clients across the UK and as such, we welcome applications UK wide. If this interests you and you are looking to work flexibly, we’d love to hear from you and introduce you to your new career as a Vario Consultant.
