Senior Commercial Lawyer

As our demand continues to grow, we are looking for lawyers who enjoy variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to work closely with businesses during periods of growth, transformation, or change.

As a Consultant at RAYNE, you will join our team and be seconded into client organisations, working as a true extension of their in-house teams. Secondments vary in length and scope and may span different sectors and legal disciplines, while you remain fully supported by the RAYNE team throughout. Our model is built on trust, flexibility, and long-term relationships with both our clients and our consultants.

We are looking to add several senior commercial lawyers based in Qatar into our team over the coming months, across multiple levels of seniority and across the GCC.

We are particularly interested in lawyers with strong experience in commercial contracts and corporate matters, including:

• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements (MSAs, framework agreements, services, Saa S, licensing, distribution, and supply).
• Advising on corporate and governance matters, restructurings, and day-to-day in-house legal support.
• Supporting transactions, projects, and strategic initiatives alongside business teams.
• Managing legal risk, red-flagging issues, and providing pragmatic, business-focused solutions.
• Operating confidently within fast-paced, in-house environments.

Successful candidates will:

• Be admitted in a common law or other recognised international jurisdiction.
• Typically have 5+ years' PQE (flexible depending on experience and role).
• Have experience gained in private practice and in-house.
• Be adaptable, pragmatic, and comfortable working autonomously as well as part of a team.
• Have a consultant mindset and enjoy working closely with the business.

Why RAYNE?

• Access to high-quality in-house secondments with trusted clients
• Exposure to different sectors, teams, and working environments
• A consultancy built on relationships, transparency, and trust
• Ongoing support before, during, and after each secondment
• Adaptable and flexible working options that work for you

If you are a lawyer looking for a different way to work, then we would love to hear from you!
