Contracts Attorney

Robert Half • West Middlesex, PA • 20h ago

Description We are looking for an experienced Contracts Attorney to support a manufacturing organization in West Middlesex, Pennsylvania through a Long-term Contract engagement. This role will serve as a key legal partner to procurement, supply chain, and operational teams, helping the business manage commercial risk while advancing supplier relationships. The position is ideal for a practical attorney who can translate complex legal issues into clear guidance for business stakeholders and contribute to efficient, consistent contracting practices.

Responsibilities:

Prepare, examine, and negotiate a wide range of supplier-facing agreements, including framework contracts, purchasing documents, statements of work, and related commercial terms.

Counsel procurement and supply chain partners on negotiation strategy, commercial risk allocation, and contract structure for materials, components, and outsourced manufacturing arrangements.

Lead discussions on critical contract provisions such as pricing mechanisms, warranties, indemnity terms, liability caps, intellectual property rights, and termination rights.

Assess and address supply-related exposure by advising on issues involving force majeure, allocation rights, purchase volume commitments, and dependence on sole or limited-source suppliers.

Provide legal support during sourcing initiatives by reviewing bid language, advising on evaluation terms, and assisting with award and contracting documentation.

Work closely with risk management, insurance, and claims stakeholders to align supplier obligations with broader liability and coverage considerations.

Advise on cross-border purchasing matters involving customs, trade, and import/export considerations for international suppliers and manufacturing partners.

Create and refine contract templates, negotiation guidance, and standard playbooks to improve consistency and streamline the procurement contracting process.

Monitor contractual obligations tied to quality, regulatory, and sustainability expectations relevant to a manufacturing environment.

Deliver clear, business-focused legal advice to non-legal teams so that legal risk can be addressed through practical commercial solutions. Requirements - J.D. degree and active bar membership in good standing.

At least 5-8 years of relevant legal experience in commercial or procurement contracting, gained in-house, at a law firm, or both.

Strong understanding of commercial contract principles and laws governing the purchase and sale of goods.

Proven ability to negotiate supplier and vendor agreements independently with sophisticated counterparties.

Experience collaborating across procurement, supply chain, finance, operations, and other business functions.

Familiarity with contract lifecycle management systems and an interest in improving templates, processes, and negotiation tools.

Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills, with sound judgment in balancing legal risk against business priorities.

Exposure to manufacturing, industrial, distribution, or related sectors, including international supply agreements or supplier risk matters, is preferred.
