Group Legal Counsel – UK & EU in Weybridge

London (Hybrid – 3 days office) TT Electronics, a global electronics manufacturer powering everything from satellites to stairlifts, is looking for a proactive, commercially minded Group Legal Counsel to join their small but high-impact legal team. With a new CEO, renewed momentum, and a focus on growth – including an active M&A agenda – this is an exceptional opportunity to step into a broad, influential, high-visibility role at a UK-listed PLC.

Why TT Electronics?

• A close-knit, high-energy legal team with real influence
• Exposure to the full legal spectrum: commercial, M&A, compliance, governance, IP, litigation
• A business with real engineering expertise and a compelling growth story
• Head office relocated to London (Bank) in 2026 – bringing new energy into the organisation
• Genuine opportunity to shape legal strategy and partner directly with leadership

This is the perfect role for someone wanting to move in-house or take the next step up in responsibility – breadth, ownership, and variety come as standard.

The Role

As Group Legal Counsel – Europe, you’ll report directly to the Group General Counsel & Company Secretary and act as a trusted advisor across TT’s UK and EU operations. You’ll handle:

Core Responsibilities

• Leading on commercial contracting across customers, suppliers, consultancy and distribution agreements
• Supporting and leading elements of M&A transactions, including diligence, execution and integration
• Supporting compliance across data protection, export controls, anti-bribery, and wider regulatory matters
• Managing litigation and disputes
• Contributing to strong corporate governance across EU
• Advising on IP considerations (primarily soft IP)
• Partnering with business leaders as a genuine “sounding board”
• Liaising with top-tier external counsel
• Providing training across sites – including UK travel and occasional trips to Asia

You’ll work closely with a small, agile legal team including the GC, a Deputy CoSec, a US-qualified lawyer, and your counterpart in the UK/Asia region.

What We’re Looking For

• England & Wales qualified solicitor
• 4+ PQE (sweet spot: 4-8 PQE)
• Strong background in M&A (either in practice or in-house)
• Experience in commercial contracts with an interest to learn more
• Ability to communicate complex issues simply and effectively
• A collaborative, positive personality – cultural fit is key
• Someone who loves rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in
• No sector experience needed (but always a bonus)

This is a role for someone who wants variety, visibility, and meaningful impact – not a siloed specialist seat.

Working Pattern & Environment

• 3 days/week in the office
• Travel to UK sites encouraged (4-6 times per year)
• Join a vibrant head office of ~20 people with real cross-functional collaboration
