I'm working with a growing, AIM listed retailer based in Manchester who are looking for a General Counsel & Company Secretary for a sole legal role in the business. Operating across a number of product categories the group employs over 200 people and has reported consistent growth over the last 5 years.
Reporting to the CFO the role will entail:
- Responsibility for review and negotiation of commercial contracts and transactional documentation;
- Assisting the Board with all Plc requirements as Company Secretary;
- Management of trademarks;
- Involvement in, and management of external lawyers, in relation to corporate transactions;
- Corporate governance and ESG;
- Data protection;
- Monitoring and managing regulatory requirements;
- Involvement in ongoing commercial projects, partnering with senior members of the business.
This role requires a senior commercial lawyer with in-house experience gained in a Plc environment. It's an entrepreneurial business and, as such, will be suited to lawyers who enjoy a really fast pace with changing objectives.
