In-House Senior Legal Counsel – Interim
Location: Hybrid | Commutable from Liverpool or Chester. Engagement: Fixed-Term Contract.
We are working exclusively with a leading UK retailer to source an experienced interim legal professional for an immediate requirement within their established head office legal team.
This is a commercially-focused, high-volume role suited to someone who can hit the ground running. You'll be embedded within a collaborative legal function supporting multiple business units across a business with significant international reach.
What you'll be doing:
* Drafting and negotiating a broad range of commercial agreements, including framework contracts, IT agreements, and trademark licences
* Supporting major business initiatives including commercial partnerships, joint ventures, and new ventures
* Advising on regulatory compliance, data protection, consumer law, and marketing materials
* Managing ad hoc legal queries and contributing to the resolution of commercial disputes
What the business needs:
A technically strong, commercially minded lawyer who is available at short notice and comfortable operating independently in a fast-paced environment. You'll be advising senior stakeholders from day one, so a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach is essential.
Client criteria:
* Qualified Solicitors with 5+ years PQE in commercial law
* Experienced Senior Legal Advisors, Legal Executives, or Commercial Contracts Managers with substantial in‑house experience
If you are immediately available or on a short notice period and have a strong commercial law background, we'd welcome a conversation.
