Commercial Legal Counsel & Automation- London

Commercial Legal Counsel (4–6 PQE) | Legal Tech & Automation | London

Are you a commercially focused lawyer looking for a role where you can have real impact beyond contract drafting?

We're working with an innovative, US-headquartered technology company that's investing in the growth of its legal team. This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer with 4–6 years' PQE to join a fast-moving international business where you'll partner closely with commercial teams, embrace legal technology, and help shape how legal services are delivered.

What you'll be doing:

You'll support the business on a wide range of commercial matters, negotiating and advising on customer, supplier and technology agreements while working closely with Sales, Product and Operations.

Alongside your commercial legal work, you'll play a key role in improving the way the legal function operates. Whether it's refining templates, developing playbooks, implementing AI-enabled solutions or streamlining processes, you'll help drive a more efficient and scalable legal service.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is a qualified solicitor in England & Wales with around 4–6 years' PQE including some in-house
• Has strong experience negotiating commercial and technology agreements, ideally including SaaS contracts.
• Has an interest in legal technology, automation and AI, even if you haven't worked in a dedicated legal innovation role.
• Is proactive, adaptable and enjoys working in a collaborative, high-growth environment.
• Experience of AI tool building and CLM platforms, or legal operations initiatives

This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a growing international legal team within a business that genuinely values legal as a commercial partner. You'll gain exposure to cross-border work, contribute to legal transformation initiatives, and build your career in an organisation where innovation is encouraged.

The role is based in central London with a hybrid working model (three days per week in the office). There will be travel (mainly to the US approximately 2–5 times a year) to collaborate with colleagues and leadership.

Candidates who are available immediately or on a short notice period would be particularly welcomed.
