We have an exciting opportunity for a Commercial Solicitor with technology experience to join our team. We support a range of fast-growth businesses with a variety of commercial and data protection matters.
We’re striving to become a subscription-led basis and this approach to working is the core model of our legal team. We work with our clients on their day-to-day legal matters by:
- managing their legal function and advising the management team of any legal risks that arise (and how they can be mitigated);
- providing ad hoc commercial legal advice; and
- liaising with our clients’ internal teams to prepare and negotiate contracts.
Our Subscription team works closely with other SL legal teams including Employment and Corporate to advise and support our Subscription clients’ needs.
As an extension to our clients’ existing legal team or acting as sole legal counsel, our Subscription team pride themselves on their ability to deliver on the detail while seeing the big picture.

- able to provide legal advice in a wider commercial context, understanding the strategic business needs and objectives of clients and helping them to assess and identify legal and commercial risk
