Legal Advisor

LEGAL ADVISOR

Trinidad & Tobago

Radiant Law, a UK law firm and winner of multiple awards as a legal pioneer, is in a period of high growth with a rapidly expanding international client base. We launched a new team based in Trinidad & Tobago at the start of the year and are now growing that team further, with roles for Legal Advisors to join our commercial contracts group supporting North American timezone clients.

We are particularly interested in lawyers with a strong commercial contracts background, ideally including some time spent working in-house. We want to find people who will thrive in an environment where they are regularly asked to come up with creative solutions and improvements, and who are ready for something different to the traditional law firm/in-house experience. If you have an appetite to learn and grow with us and are interested in working at the forefront of the transformation of the legal industry, we'd love to speak with you.

Working with us offers you:

• a work-from-home role combined with a dynamic and supportive remote team environment,
• interesting commercial contracts work for global organisations,
• a chance to get to grips with leading-edge legal technology solutions,
• time to learn about and practice lean processes and focus on continuous improvements, and
• an outlet for your creativity, working closely with clients to understand their needs and ensure that our support focuses on their key priorities. 

What we need from you:

• draft, review, negotiate and get over the line commercial contracts of varying degrees of complexity against tight time frames,
• draft bespoke provisions where clients have particular needs,
• identify ways to improve how we deliver our services and to accelerate closing contracts, working closely with our software developers, legal engineers and document automators,
• deliver improvement projects and demonstrate to our clients that we keep getting better,
• document what you learn in our knowledge repositories and share with the team through internal training, and
• in time, take over management of client accounts and take the lead in ensuring successful and continuously improving delivery.

For this role you need to be based in Trinidad & Tobago, and to be a qualified lawyer. We are looking for candidates with up to five years of post-qualification experience either within a law firm or in-house, including specific experience in the drafting, review and negotiation of day to day commercial contracts such as sales agreements, procurement agreements, NDAs, supply of goods and services and licensing agreements.

Our environment is fast-paced and the one constant about Radiant is change! You should be able to demonstrate how you embrace a continuous improvement approach to meeting client needs. High levels of autonomy, self-motivation and great communication and interpersonal skills are all important.

Take a look at our website to make sure you have a good understanding of why we are different, our values and what we look for in team members, then please include a short cover letter with your application that explains why you are the right fit for Radiant and this role.
