I’m working with an established international business on a senior legal appointment based at its Surrey office.
This is a broad, commercially focused role supporting the UK and wider international operations of a business with a significant global footprint. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across different regions, while also partnering with colleagues across a wider international Legal team.
The role would suit a senior commercial lawyer who enjoys working autonomously, is comfortable operating across multiple jurisdictions and wants genuine exposure to international business.
The role will cover:
Providing senior legal support across the UK and international business
Commercial contracts, tenders, licensing and supplier arrangements
Corporate transactions, joint ventures and M&A
Governance, compliance, employment and regulatory matters
International and cross-border projects
Managing relationships with external legal advisers
Advising senior stakeholders on legal risk and commercial decisions
Supporting global legal and strategic projects
Developing legal processes, policies and training across the business
Monitoring relevant legal and regulatory developments
The ideal candidate will have:
UK qualification, or qualification in another jurisdiction with strong UK legal knowledge
Significant in-house experience within an international or multinational organisation
Strong corporate and commercial legal experience
Proven international and cross-border experience
Confidence operating independently in a standalone regional role
Strong commercial judgement and a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach
Excellent drafting, negotiation and stakeholder management skills
Experience developing or improving legal processes and capabilities within a business
Sector experience in energy, technology, engineering or infrastructure would be advantageous but is not essential.
This is a senior role offering significant autonomy, international exposure and the opportunity to work closely with the business and help shape the way the legal function operates.
