Senior Legal Counsel 5+ – Global Leader
Home Counties
We are instructed by a global leader in the service sector. Our client is active in almost 40 markets around the world and has leading positions in many of those markets. Revenue is well into the billions and you can expect to play a key part of a UK & Ireland Legal team as Senior Legal Counsel.
This is a strategically important role that will position you as one of the lead contracting lawyers for their UK & Ireland business, with an opportunity to play an integral part in our client’s growth strategy in 2021.
With a reporting line into the Head of Legal you will have responsibility for mentoring, supervising and developing 2 or 3 less experienced lawyers who will report into you. The Legal team is a highly valued and core part of the business and the Legal Director sits on the executive committee.
This is a Home Counties based role with the flexibility to work from home and office (ideally 2/3 days in the office – commutable from the Midlands or Northern Home Counties).
You can expect a broad commercial contracts role with work ranging from large framework or technology agreements to sales and procurement agreements. The team already has experienced litigators but you can expect some involvement in litigation too. An individual with some employment experience would be desirable although this is by no means essential.
What this role really requires is a pragmatic and business minded lawyer able to work with stakeholders at all levels. A robust lawyer, likely to have had in-house experience, who is comfortable with analysing risk and advising accordingly. Someone with at least 5 + PQE is likely to have the relevant experience,.
Competitive salary and benefits package.
