Senior Legal Counsel (Russian-Speaking) – Generalist | Remote | Global Trading Firm
A fast-moving trading firm operating across global markets is hiring a Russian-speaking senior lawyer who can advise at pace, draft with precision, and act as a genuine legal partner — not just a reviewer.
The role
* Full ownership of a broad and varied legal workload — spanning business expansion, transactional law, and a wide range of contract matters
* Trusted legal voice across the business, reporting into different stakeholders depending on the project — including directly to the CEO on high-priority matters
* Multi-jurisdictional remit with real ownership: you'll identify when external counsel is needed, engage them, and manage those relationships end-to-end
* Advice that moves things forward — a genuine seat at the table, not a back-office function
What they're looking for
* 5+ years, in-house or at an international law firm
* Multi-jurisdictional exposure across common law and civil law systems
* Sharp on drafting, sharper on risk — without losing sight of commercial reality
* Proactive, self-directed, and comfortable operating at pace
* Advanced English required; Russian a plus
Why this one
* Fully remote with flexible hours and 40 days paid leave
* Access to global offices on demand
* Competitive salary with real room to grow
* A high-autonomy role for a commercially-minded lawyer who wants international scope and the freedom to do their best work.
