Client & Role
My client, a world leader in energy services, with nearly 100,000 employees across more than 50 countries and an annual turnover exceeding 10 billion euros, is seeking a Legal Counsel/Senior Legal Counsel to join their growing in-house team.
This hybrid role requires 1 day per week in the office at one of their locations in Leeds, Birmingham, or London.
The role supports the “Places & Communities Division,” a major revenue generator, reporting to the Head of Legal in P&C.
Responsibilities
* Reviewing, negotiating, and drafting agreements, especially for construction, refurbishment, and related services.
* Supporting commercial and contractual matters for tenders, projects, variations, and ongoing operational issues.
* Collaborating with legal and business teams, including business development, commercial, and senior management, as well as external legal advisers and contract counterparties.
* Providing practical, high-quality legal advice that balances legal risks with business needs.
Requirements
* UK-qualified solicitor or barrister with 4-10 years PQE (flexible based on experience quality).
* Understanding of UK construction contracts, including negotiation experience with industry-standard forms like JCT and NEC.
* Experience with public procurement is preferred.
The P&C practice supports top-tier clients, offering a valuable opportunity for those seeking to transition into an in-house role or advance within it, given the exposure to legal, commercial, operational, and business risks.
This position is ideal for a proactive attorney eager to join a vibrant, growing team, maintain a client-facing role, and develop legal and commercial skills within a dynamic company with significant growth potential.
