The legal team provides legal support to all functions of the business and is seeking an additional lawyer on a 6 month fixed term contract to advise the marketing department in a wide range of issues. These issues will typically include: commercial contracts, marketing and IP clearance, data protection and regulatory compliance, contentious IP matters and support to the legal and brand security teams on anti-counterfeit cases, lookalikes and infringement of Chivas Brothers’ IP rights.
We are looking for someone to join the team for a period from January until July 2017 who is a qualified solicitor in England or Scotland, with a current practising certificate and at least 3 years’ PQE particularly in IP and Commercial contract work, and non-contentious IP in a reputable commercial firm or in-house environment.

It is also important that the successful candidate has first class written and oral communication skills and strong interpersonal skills that will enable them to communicate with senior management as well as the wider marketing teams and the Group IP Hub (where English may be a second language). Strong organisational skills with particular attention to detail and follow up are also extremely important in this role. Candidates must also be proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and be able to travel occasionally.
