Commercial Lawyers, 1-8 years’ PQE
Portsmouth, Hampshire
Transas is a world-leading provider of high-tech equipment, software applications, integrated solutions and services for the maritime industry. Founded in 1990, we operate more than 20 regional offices as well as a network of partners serving Transas customers globally. Transas' vision is to lead the way in creating an ecosystem of harmonised integrated solutions in safety, navigation and ship operations.
As a core part of its vision, Transas has introduced a revolutionary software platform, THESIS, the Transas Harmonised Eco System of Integrated Solutions, which will reshape the way commercial vessels operate, improving safety and reducing costs for vessel owners and bringing efficiency gains in global supply chains. THESIS is a flexible data resource where Ship, Fleet Operations, Academy (simulation & training) and Ship Traffic Control can all be connected to the ecosystem, effectively a community working together on a cloud-based shared data platform to enable smarter operations, safety and navigation.  United into a single environment, navigation, simulation, vessel traffic, and fleet management systems become a decision support tool using the data provided by Transas software solutions.
Due to the relocation of our headquarters, we are now looking for up to 3 lawyers to join our GC at our new flagship Head Office at Lakeside North Harbour, Portsmouth. Together with our three lawyers in St Petersburg, you will form part of a global legal team supporting the business throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. All positions will report to our GC, himself a relatively new addition to the organisation. As such this is a chance to be part of a fresh and new look legal team which is a valued and integral part of the wider business.
We are particularly interested in applicants from 1-8 years’ PQE with reputable UK law firm training behind them and preferably some previous in-house experience. Whilst a solid grounding in commercial contracts and technology-related agreements is preferred, applicants with other specialist skills are also invited to apply, as the roles will be broad in scope. In all cases, we are looking for versatile and enthusiastic team players who are able to build strong relationships and demonstrate a pragmatic and distinctly commercial approach to problem-solving.
Whilst predominantly supporting our international sales teams on customer contracts, you will also work alongside all other functions on a diverse range of matters, in these highly visible positions.
In return, we are offering you an opportunity to develop your career within a fast-moving, pioneering business which leads the way within its industry. As key members of a forward-thinking legal team we are looking for applicants who want to take ownership of these roles, bring new ideas to the legal function and make a real impact on our business. Flexible and part-time working arrangements will also be considered for the right individuals. 
For further information or to apply, please contact our exclusively retained consultants Nick Creed or Sam Baker at Baker Creed on 020 7871 1560 or email info@bakercreed.co.uk.  All direct or third party applications will be forwarded to Baker Creed for consideration.
