We’re working with a well-regarded international organisation looking to add a Legal Counsel to their in-house Legal team.

This is a great opportunity for a recently qualified lawyer — particularly those coming from corporate or funds teams — who’s keen to step into a commercially focused in-house role. You’ll be working closely with directors and senior stakeholders across the business, gaining exposure to a wide range of legal and operational matters. It would suit someone ready to make that first move in-house or someone already in a regulated environment looking for broader experience within a global business.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Provide legal advice and support to directors and senior management
• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, contracts, and internal documentation
• Advise on legal and regulatory matters affecting the business, ensuring compliance with applicable laws in all operating locations
• Support internal licensing processes and assist with regulatory applications and renewals
• Contribute to strategic projects and internal initiatives from a legal perspective
• Liaise with external counsel where required and manage legal input into cross-border matters
• Proactively identify legal risks and opportunities, offering mitigation strategies and solutions
• Keep abreast of changes in relevant legislation and industry regulations, updating policies and stakeholders accordingly

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Lawyer with significant post-qualification experience, ideally in a commercial law firm or in-house legal team
• Corporate / funds law experience / prior in-house legal experience
• CGI and/or STEP qualifications are advantageous (full support for these qualifications will be provided, if you wish)

SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES:

• Confidence in advising senior stakeholders and navigating cross-jurisdictional challenges
• A commercial mindset and a proactive, solutions-focused approach
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
