Updated June 12, 2008
Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) now seeks to recruit a strong commercial lawyer to join their legal team in its London headquarters to handle a wide range of matters, many with an international flavour. Some of the work is likely to involve travel. Reporting to the Deputy General Counsel and assisting both internal and external clients, candidates should be looking for a highly rewarding and business-centric role with a large degree of autonomy and responsibility. Daily responsibilities will include:
• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a broad range of high-value commercial contracts
• Dealing with corporate matters and M&A activities of the company
• Drafting and negotiating framework and service agreements
• Tackling licensing and IT matters
• Providing advice and assistance on any data protection and employment related issues.
Who we're looking for
Candidates must be qualified lawyers with demonstrable experience in the abovementioned areas of practice. Prior in-house exposure is not essential but language skills and/or experience or qualifications from a non-common law jurisdiction would be an advantage. Commercial acumen, a positive and flexible approach to your work and the ability to understand your clients' business needs is crucial, as are the necessary interpersonal skills to breed and maintain long-lasting working relationships. Professionalism, credibility and gravitas are essential.
