Commercial Solicitor - #2166409

Commercial Contracts Solicitor / Technology Associate | 1–5 PQE | Birmingham

£75,000–£85,000 + Exceptional Bonus | International Practice | Hybrid

Are you a Commercial Contracts lawyer looking for high-quality work, excellent career progression and the opportunity to develop further into technology, SaaS, AI and data?

Or are you already working within Commercial Technology, IT or Data and looking for a stronger platform for your next move?

I’m working with a leading international law firm looking to appoint a 1–5 PQE Associate to its established Birmingham Commercial team.

Importantly, you do not need to be a specialist technology lawyer to be considered.

The team is equally interested in lawyers coming from a strong general commercial contracts background who have experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating a broad range of commercial agreements and would like to increase their exposure to technology-led work.

This is a particularly attractive opportunity for someone looking for a combination of quality work, an exceptionally strong bonus structure and genuine long-term career progression within an international practice.

The work can include:

• General commercial contracts, including drafting, reviewing and negotiating complex agreements

• Technology, outsourcing and managed service agreements

• Software licensing, SaaS, cloud and technology procurement

• Strategic supplier and customer agreements

• Data protection and UK GDPR compliance

• Data processing, sharing and international transfer arrangements

• AI governance and emerging technology matters

• Cybersecurity, data breaches and incident response

• Digital marketing, e-Privacy and PECR

• Strategic commercial and technology projects

The opportunity could therefore suit someone currently working as a Commercial Contracts Solicitor, Commercial Lawyer, Technology Lawyer, IT Solicitor, Data Lawyer or Commercial Technology Associate.

For a general Commercial Contracts lawyer, it offers the chance to retain a broad commercial practice while building valuable experience across technology, AI, SaaS and data.

For an existing Commercial Technology lawyer, it provides the opportunity to join a high-calibre practice with sophisticated work, strong Partner support and an international platform.
