Commercial Solicitor in Deeside

As one of the Best Big Companies to Work For, we have a rich history of loving our customers and looking after our teams. We understand that success is achieved through our people, and we are searching for a committed and passionate Commercial Solicitor to join our growing business.

Purpose of the Role:

As part of our dynamic team at Iceland, you'll provide essential legal support to our company and its wider group. This is a fast-paced role in a company with international and multi-sectoral reach, perfect for a confident solicitor who can think on their feet and communicate effectively. You'll experience the variety and quality of work befitting of a large firm in private practice! Not only will you be involved in reviewing and drafting a wide range of commercial agreements, including framework agreements, IT agreements and trademark licences, but the team plays an integral role in the many critical and innovative business projects across the group, from start-ups to key commercial partnerships and joint ventures. You will also advise in respect of marketing materials, regulatory compliance, data protection, disputes and a whole host of other ad hoc legal queries.

Our team is focused on commitment, reward and recognition, leadership, taking responsibility and innovation. We attract talented lawyers, each of whom brings their own unique qualities, along with a commercial and collaborative approach, professional drive and a commitment to success. This is a fantastic opportunity for a well-rounded, experienced solicitor to thrive within our supportive team. We welcome applications from candidates currently working in-house or those in private practice with a genuine desire to move in-house. This is a full-time role, but part-time applicants may also be considered.

Key requirements:

• Contract drafting and negotiation: manage your own caseload with effective and efficient prioritisation of tasks.
• Team collaboration: work as a team player in a strong, supportive environment.
• Personal responsibility: resolve, resilience, exceptional attention to detail and ability to meet tight deadlines when required.
• Communication: strong communication skills and ability to build rapport with internal and external stakeholders. A good sense of humour is a must!
• Technical ability: proficiency in MS Office tools, particularly Word and Outlook.

Qualifications and experience:

Ideally, we seek qualified solicitors with 6+ years PQE. Experience in data protection, litigation, consumer law, IP, and corporate law is desirable but not essential. A willingness to learn is critical. This role offers a unique chance to grow and develop in a vibrant, international company. If you have the skills and enthusiasm to excel in this environment, we would love to hear from you.
