Substantive Legal Experience
Information about the business and team
Our client is a FTSE100 global medical technology company specialising in three key areas: orthopaedics, sports medicine and ENT, and advanced wound management. In recent years, the organisation has undergone a major operational shift — transitioning from a recovery?focused strategy to a high?growth model centred on productivity, innovation, and expansion into fast?growing markets.
A significant part of this transformation includes substantial investment in digital surgery and robotic platforms to modernise traditional clinical procedures. The business has also accelerated its progress through targeted acquisitions to strengthen its product portfolio, enhance specialist capabilities, and stabilise its supply chain. Combined, these initiatives position the organisation as a stronger competitor across the medical device sector.
The Legal Team
The legal function consists of around 30 people split between the UK and the US. This role will sit within the operations?focused side of the legal team, with an additional reporting line into the IP function. The IP team is primarily focused on patents, trademarks and copyrights and currently does not have the capacity or specialist focus to handle the specific project at hand. The broader team is collaborative, forward?thinking and keen to welcome someone who can support during an important period of growth and change.
What the Client Needs Help With
As the business continues to expand — particularly through the creation and acquisition of new IP — it requires someone who can work closely with R&D and other internal teams to ensure IP?related legal considerations are addressed at the right stage of the innovation and product development lifecycle.
They are looking for someone who can lead an information?gathering exercise across the organisation and then develop the tools, templates and training needed to standardise and improve internal processes. This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer interested in transformational work and driving meaningful, long?lasting improvements in how legal supports innovation.
What the Role Will Involve

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.
