We are now recruiting for a key hire to our TMT offering, to be based in Thames Valley. For this pivotal role in the team we would like to hear from Partners or aspiring Partners (from a private practice or in-house background) who want to work with us to grow TMT nationally and support and supervise the local team.
We can add to your existing experience with the full spectrum of high quality work - from advising on large multinational outsourcing arrangements and complex IT projects to more routine software development and licensing arrangements. Your experience should include advising in respect of large IT system and software procurements, agile and waterfall software development methodologies, technology-enabled BPOs, system integration projects, cloud services contracts and software licensing arrangements. Particular involvement within some (or all) of the telecoms, financial services, automotive and retail sectors would be preferable.
However, it is just as important that you have the enthusiasm and ambition to drive the business forward, working alongside like-minded TMT and commercial lawyers, to develop new products and services which reflect the changing needs of the in-house legal community who require much more than technical excellence. Our products such as our Convergence toolkit to effectively manage large projects, our Resource Solutions product suite which is tailored to meet the individual needs of our clients, and Matters+, our matter management solution for in-house teams which has been short listed for two legal innovation awards, are examples of our forward thinking to providing best-in-class legal services to our clients.
We set huge store by providing outstanding client service, along with excellent technical know-how. Whilst providing this, you will have the ability to drive performance and influence strategy from the day you join us. We expect you will be passionate about business development and have your own network of clients and contacts. We will nurture your individual skills and strengths and encourage and support you in being innovative and ambitious in how you deliver services for our clients.
We place a lot of belief in culture and community, and genuinely think we have something different to offer you at Shoosmiths. This is reflected in everything we say and do from our use of technology to enable effective cross-office working, to the team spirit and culture (and the many events and activities we organise).
This role is considered to be at competency Level 4 in our internal framework.
If you have any queries about this prospect or life at Shoosmiths before deciding whether to apply, we are always happy to have a confidential discussion with you so please get in touch with Rachel Charlton in our recruitment team (Rachel.charlton@shoosmiths.co.uk). |
