Interim / Fractional Senior Legal Counsel – MedTech
c. 2.5–3 days per week | Initial 6-month engagement | Flexible / Remote | Start: December
JHB & Partners is working with a fast-growing, entrepreneurial legal business looking to bring in an experienced MedTech lawyer on an interim/fractional basis.
This is an unusual opportunity for a senior lawyer who understands the MedTech, HealthTech or wider life sciences sector but whose strengths sit primarily in commercial and technology matters, rather than pure regulatory work.
You'll work directly with innovative businesses operating across the MedTech ecosystem, acting as a senior commercial adviser and becoming closely embedded with clients and their leadership teams.
The work
The mandate will vary across clients but is likely to include:
- Drafting and negotiating complex commercial and technology agreements.
- Advising MedTech and HealthTech businesses on strategic commercial matters.
- Technology, SaaS, licensing, supply, procurement, and partnership agreements.
- Supporting clients as they develop, commercialise, and scale products and services.
- Identifying and navigating legal and regulatory issues arising in the MedTech environment.
- Working closely with specialist regulatory advisers where deeper medical-device regulatory expertise is required.
- Operating as a pragmatic, commercially minded extension of clients' internal teams.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who we're looking for
You'll be an experienced UK-qualified lawyer, likely operating at Senior Associate / Managing Associate / Senior Legal Counsel level or above, with:
- Meaningful experience advising businesses in MedTech, HealthTech, medical devices, digital health, or an adjacent life sciences sector.
- Strong commercial contracts and technology experience.
- The confidence to work autonomously and manage senior client relationships.
- A practical, solutions-focused approach – comfortable giving a commercial recommendation rather than simply identifying legal risk.
- Experience from a strong private practice and/or in-house environment.
- Medical-device regulatory knowledge would be valuable, but you do not need to be a pure regulatory specialist.

This could particularly suit an established fractional or portfolio lawyer looking to add a substantial ongoing mandate alongside other commitments.
The arrangement
The initial requirement is expected to be approximately 2.5–3 days per week, commencing around 1 December, for an initial period of approximately six months.
There is flexibility around how the working pattern is structured, and we're particularly interested in speaking with lawyers already operating on a fractional, consultancy, or interim basis.
