We’re looking for a Legal Counsel to join us in either Brighton or Copenhagen. You’ll be the fourth full-time member of our legal team, alongside one student assistant, with another joining soon. We support the entire studio and help keep things running smoothly as we support Hitman and build 007 First Light, Project Fantasy, and more.
This is a great role if you’re early in your legal career and want to move fast, work broadly, and be close to the teams making the games. It’s a wide-ranging, hands-on position where you’ll use your legal training every day, not in a vacuum, but across all major contract negotiations at IOI. That includes talent deals for our Elusive Targets in Hitman (with actors like Mads Mikkelsen and Sean Bean), composers for the 007 First Light game, large-scale development agreements, publishing deals, and more.
We have astrong focus on keeping our great studioculture, which means we are in the studio four days a week. One day can be remote – if you want it.
