Commercial Solicitor (Telecommunications)

Following a very significant client win in the telecoms sector CMS Cameron McKenna are looking for an associate to join their expanding Commercial Technology and Litigation Practice at a mid-level (probably with at least 2 years’ pqe) to work with Chris Watson, one of our 4 Partners in the Commercial Telecommunications practice in London.

Working as part of a fast growing team, the role will cover a range of telecoms and technology related work – primarily non-contentious preparation of commercial agreements, competition and regulatory advice. There may also be some contentious work and other cross-discipline matters – for example getting involved in other EU and international work within the sector.

The incumbent will also be involved in marketing and client management initiatives and will also be involved in related areas such as IT/IP matters.

The successful candidate will need to have experience in a strong telecoms team within a medium to large size city law firm or be in-house within the Telecoms sector.

Candidates should have strong non-contentious experience but experience of challenging the Regulators in Court would be very useful. You should be able to demonstrate a keen interest in the sector and flexibility given that there may be opportunities to work with our clients or in other parts of the firm internationally.

Other desirable skills include experience in EC and competition law as well as IT /IP, language skills with a willingness to travel and an ability and a appetite to master new fields of knowledge and law.
