Job Description
Legal Counsel London – Hybrid (3 days per week in the office)
Are you a Commercial Solicitor looking to move into an exciting, fast-growing technology business offering high-quality work, genuine responsibility and the opportunity to develop your in-house career?
I'm working with an innovative international business looking to recruit a Legal Counsel to join its growing legal team.
The Role
Reporting to the Group General Counsel, you'll work closely with the wider business, providing practical, commercially focused legal advice across a broad range of matters.
The work will include:
- Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, including sales, supplier and wholesale agreements.
- Advising on SaaS agreements, NDAs and technology-related matters.
- Supporting the business on data protection and privacy issues.
- Working closely with commercial and operational teams on day-to-day legal matters.
- Providing support on corporate governance and wider legal issues.
You'll have genuine ownership of your work, negotiating material contracts and working directly with stakeholders across an international business.
About You You'll be an England & Wales qualified Solicitor with around 2–6 years' PQE and a strong commercial legal background, ideally gained within a City or US law firm.
You'll ideally have:
- Strong commercial contract drafting and negotiation experience.
- Exposure to technology, SaaS or supplier agreements.
- A commercially minded and pragmatic approach to legal advice.
- The confidence to work independently and build relationships across a business.
- Good communication skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
In-house experience would be beneficial but isn't essential. Privacy and data protection experience would also be an advantage.
The Opportunity
This is a great opportunity to join a growing international technology business at an exciting stage of its development.
You'll be part of an experienced, collegiate legal team, working on interesting commercial matters with real autonomy and the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as the business continues to grow.
The position offers a competitive salary and bonus, hybrid working, private healthcare, pension and a range of additional benefits.
