Your new company
An international retailer in London, with household brand recognition. The company has a small but well-respected in-house legal function that is constantly working collectively on exciting developments and services and tackling the inevitable consumer challenges that come with such progress.
Your new role
An interim Senior Legal Counsel role reporting to the General Counsel, as part of a highly influential legal function. You will work closely with the business and draft, view, negotiate a host of commercial contracts, advise on GDPR and IP matters. You will be a self-starter and have good stakeholder engagement.
What you'll need to succeed
You will be a qualified lawyer with 5-10 PQE (as a guide only), and the self-sufficiency and commercial mindset to thrive in a small team supporting an international business. In-house experience is desirable. You will have a good understanding of commercial law with some experience of litigation and IP. Experience of international franchising and employment law would be useful, but not essential.
What you'll get in return
You will work in a commercially developed, fast-paced environment and quickly become a vital cog in the company's plans moving forward. You will be given excellent levels of responsibility, ensuring a rich commercial challenge where you will be expected to proactively contribute. This is a chance to work with a globally recognised retail brand, tackling business critical legal issues.
