Commercial Legal Counsel (2–6 PQE+)
📍 West Midlands | Hybrid Working
🚀 High-impact in-house role within a fast-moving, market-leading business
This is a standout opportunity for a commercially minded lawyer to join a large, well-established organisation operating at scale across the UK and Ireland.
If you’re looking for a role where you can be truly embedded in the business, work closely with senior stakeholders and develop your career in a supportive, high-performing environment — this is well worth exploring.
The Opportunity
Joining a highly regarded and well-integrated legal team, you will play a key role in supporting a diverse and evolving business. The legal function has a genuine seat at the table, with strong visibility at leadership level and involvement in strategic decision-making.
You can expect to:
* Advise on a broad range of legal matters including commercial contracts, corporate/M&A and disputes
* Partner with stakeholders across multiple business units, gaining deep commercial exposure
* Contribute to strategic and transformation projects, including sustainability initiatives
* Play a part in shaping and improving the legal function
This is a varied, hands-on role offering real breadth and responsibility from day one.
Why This Role Stands Out
* ⭐ Clear career progression with strong potential for future leadership opportunities
* ⭐ Opportunity to join at a time of evolution and growth
* ⭐ High levels of exposure to senior executives and decision-makers
* ⭐ A business that genuinely supports development, mobility and progression
* ⭐ A collaborative and supportive culture where people are trusted and empowered
About You
You will be:
* A qualified lawyer (c.2-6PQE), from a strong private practice or in-house background
* Commercially astute and pragmatic, with strong stakeholder skills
* Keen to move into (or further develop within) a business-facing, in-house role
* A collaborative team player who can also take ownership and step up when needed
* Someone who enjoys improving processes and driving positive change
The Culture
This is an organisation where legal is valued, people are supported to grow, and individuals are encouraged to broaden their experience. The environment is dynamic, down-to-earth and genuinely team-oriented.
