Description
Overview
At an exciting stage of growth for the company, Pragmatic is seeking a Legal Counsel to join our Legal team. The role holder will be based in Cambridge or Sedgefield / Durham, working at least 3 days per week in the office and the remainder from home on a hybrid basis. The role would suit somebody looking to 'get stuck in' to an in-house role in a fast-paced tech business, with both the variety of work and development opportunities that come with that role. We are looking for an individual who works well in a team and has excellent people skills. This full-time role is focused on commercial contracts (customer, supplier, collaborations) and compliance matters, so particular interest in these areas – and experience of intellectual property law – would be beneficial.
We are targeting applicants who are qualified solicitors around NQ-1PQE, but we welcome applications from those who may have different or alternative levels of experience. If you are unsure if you meet the requirements described in this job ad, but are interested in the opportunity, we would love to hear from you
