Senior Legal Counsel

Are you a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys working alongside senior business leaders and influencing the future of technology, media and sport? In this pivotal London-based role, you will be the primary legal advisor to our Technology Services business across the UK, EMEA and Australia, supporting one of the most innovative areas of TGI Sport as we continue our ambitious One TGI transformation.

Working closely with our Chief Legal Officer and senior leaders across Commercial, Product, Engineering and Operations, you will help shape the legal framework behind the technologies transforming global sports broadcasting—from virtual advertising and LED technology to AI, media rights and intellectual property. This is far more than a traditional in-house legal role. You will be a trusted commercial partner, helping teams innovate at pace while balancing legal risk with commercial opportunity.

You will advise on strategic projects, influence business-critical decisions and take ownership of global legal areas including AI governance, intellectual property, data privacy and information security. As TGI Sport continues to integrate multiple international businesses into one global organisation, you will have the opportunity to help shape not only the legal function, but the future direction of the business itself. This role offers genuine breadth, international exposure and the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology in an organisation operating at the intersection of sport, media and innovation.

Your role combines strategic legal leadership with commercial business partnering. You will work closely with senior stakeholders across multiple regions, enabling innovation while protecting TGI Sport's technology, intellectual property and long-term commercial interests.

• Act as the primary legal advisor across the UK, EMEA and Australia, supporting virtual advertising, LED operations, media rights and strategic commercial initiatives.
• Draft, negotiate and advise on a broad range of commercial, technology and intellectual property agreements across multiple jurisdictions.

• Support procurement, corporate transactions, governance and company secretarial matters across the UK and Europe.
• Drive continuous improvement across the legal function by enhancing templates, processes, legal technology, training and knowledge sharing while managing external counsel and supporting junior team members.

What You'll Bring

• UK qualified solicitor with approximately 5–8 years' PQE gained in private practice and/or an in-house commercial environment.
• Significant experience advising on commercial contracts within technology, media or intellectual property-focused organisations.
• Strong expertise across technology law, intellectual property, commercial contracting and data privacy.
• Experience supporting complex international businesses across multiple jurisdictions.
• Excellent commercial judgement with the confidence to influence senior stakeholders and balance legal risk with business opportunity.
