The opportunity

In this role, you will play an important part in implementing exciting initiatives within this stimulating arts environment by drafting, reviewing, negotiating and advising on contracts and regulatory matters for a wide range of University projects.

Your work will create exceptional opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students and will support the development of the University’s strategies.

Working alongside solicitors and support staff within the Legal Services team, you will advise and interact with motivated colleagues across the University at all levels.


 

About you

You are a qualified solicitor who may have gained post-qualification experience in private practice or an in-house legal team. You are looking to take the next step in your career to grow your skills.

You need to be able to write fluently and have the ability to convey highly technical information in a clear way.

Importantly, you have a strong commercial focus and an excellent grasp of legal and commercial work across a broad range of projects. You will also have a good working knowledge or some experience of at least one of the following:

  • intellectual property law issues
  • Higher Education collaborations
  • Regulatory law
  • Contract Law

Detail conscious, you approach your work with a practical and proactive mind-set – quickly identifying problems, understanding the context and proposing constructive commercial solutions.

 

In return, University of the Arts London offers generous leave, an attractive pension, a commitment to your continuing personal development and training in an environment that encourages excellence, creativity and diversity. Relocation assistance is available.
