Description
Commercial Counsel
Hybrid role with our HQ in Wollaston, UK
All potential candidates should read through the following details of this job with care before making an application.
As our new Commercial Counsel, you will be one of our go to experts for legal advice on commercial and contractual issues across our business. You'll be helping the business to navigate complex legal issues and overcome the challenges that it encounters, including devising mitigation strategies for legal risks.
You'll be working with global and international Commercial, Sales and Procurement stakeholders to develop an efficient and scalable approach for building multi-jurisdictional customer and supplier/partner arrangements including guidance, templates, checklists, training and supporting technology.
Working closely with our global teams, you'll be collaborating on ongoing operational matters and integration initiatives, including compliance, real estate, EESG and corporate governance.
Utilising your strategic way of thinking, you'll be advising on avoiding and managing disputes and advising on strategy for resolution including risk assessment, negotiating settlements, drafting correspondence and preparing for litigation.
Some of your key responsibilities:
Scott Bader is an employee-owned global manufacturer of advanced composites, structural adhesives and functional polymers. Established in 1921, we have a century of expertise in manufacturing high-quality, innovative products for a variety of markets around the world. Scott Bader now employs 800 people across 7 manufacturing sites and 18 offices worldwide.
We are committed to expanding our global reach, with recent ventures including North America, India, Japan and Australia, while continuing to build on our reputation for innovation, outstanding quality and technical expertise.
Scott Bader is different to most other companies. Our business is based on the simple principle of maintaining a balance between our social purpose and business needs. In 1951 we became the first UK company to hold a Common Ownership Certificate when the Bader family handed over their shares to The Scott Bader Commonwealth Limited – in simple terms, this means that Scott Bader colleagues own and are responsible for the success and overall wellbeing of the company.
Diversity & Inclusion
Our aim is to create an environment that is welcoming to all people, and ensures we treat each other and customers with respect. We appreciate different and fresh ways of thinking, encouraging innovation where colleagues feel they can express their views freely, and create a working atmosphere in which everyone is able to deliver a high-quality service.
