In-House Counsel

Legal Counsel - Contracts focus

Some in-house roles end up being little more than contract review positions.

This isn’t one of them.

The work will include:

• drafting and negotiating commercial agreements

• procurement and supplier contracting

• advising on commercial and contractual risk

• working closely with stakeholders across the organisation

About you:

• corporate/commercial

• commercial contracts

• projects/procurement

• or an existing in-house background

You will ideally have around 3–6 years’ PAE together with strong drafting skills and a practical, commercially minded approach.

On offer:

• established and highly regarded in-house legal team

• broad operational and commercial exposure

• large complex organisation with interesting project work

• genuine work/life balance

• one day WFH
