A US headquartered multinational software and services business which has over 50,000 employees globally and operations in over 100 countries is looking for an ambitious legal counsel to join their growing legal team based in Surrey.
Reporting to the Legal Director, the role will involve drafting and negotiating contracts for the UK and wider EMEA business. This generalist role will involve coordinating closely with the rest of the company's global legal team and will advise on all areas of law affecting the business including data protection, employment, compliance, company secretarial and dispute issues.
The successful candidate will need to have strong private practice training and general commercial experience. This company is very non-hierarchical and the successful candidate will be dealing with senior management within the business from day one. This role is well suited to candidates looking for a first in-house move or those at the start of their in-house career looking to join a small team and have access to broad legal work.
