Freedom to work on your terms

We're looking for a junior to mid level South African qualified Commercial lawyer to join our fantastic team of lawyers, predominantly supporting a large financial institution.

 

Ideally you will:

  • have between 2 - 6 years' PQE of commercial legal experience,
  • have strong commercial contracts experience, particularly sales contracts, ideally within the financial institution space,
  • have experience advising on contracts from other jurisdictions, particularly the UK,
  • be flexible and have great communication skills, and ability to work with the wider team based in different time zones.

 

You'll be joining our fantastic team of lawyers who are all enthusiastic, talented, and collaborative. This is a great opportunity to join an innovative organisation and get exposure to top quality work.

 

This role will be full time, starting as soon as possible. Although this role will be predominantly remote working, the ability to attend some meetings with colleagues and the client in Cape Town would be beneficial.

 

If you're a junior to mid level South African qualified Commercial lawyer looking to work in a different way, we'd love to hear from you!

 

Why Join LOD?

People come to us for a whole range of reasons – they might be looking for time for their interests, for work alongside other projects, or just want a change. What they all have in common is a desire for high quality work coupled with a degree of control that traditional models can’t offer, but LOD can.

 

All of our LODs have worked at top tier firms or as part of major in-house teams. We only accept a small percentage of applications as we choose lawyers who are not only technically excellent, but who can work seamlessly with our client’s teams. This ensures we can offer our lawyers consistently high-quality assignments.

 

We can offer:

  • Varied, challenging, career-enhancing work with market leading brands (from Google to Barclays, and Amex to adidas) as well as exciting growth companies.
  • Flexibility and autonomy: you can work anything from full-time on site with a client to a few hours each week from home.
  • Training and know-how, as well as support from our dedicated HQ Team.
  • A variety of flexible models that include working at the client’s offices or remotely.
