About the Role
As Legal Counsel, you will work closely with the Chief Legal Officer and support legal matters across Codility’s commercial, regulatory, and operational landscape. This is a unique opportunity for a junior lawyer to build in-house experience at a high-growth SaaS company operating globally.

* Advise on IP issues, including trademark, copyright, and patent-related matters (with support from external counsel where needed)
* Support compliance with data protection and privacy laws, including GDPR, and maintain legal registers and templates
* Provide legal input to cross-functional teams (Sales, PeopleOps, Marketing, Product, etc.) to improve workflows and mitigate risk
* Assist with general legal operations, including contract management and internal process documentation
What We’re Looking For
* Qualified solicitor in England & Wales, or an experienced commercial paralegal with clear legal training and career progression
* 0–3 years’ PQE, ideally with experience in-house or within a tech, SaaS, or fast-paced commercial environment
* Strong foundation in contract law and experience drafting and negotiating commercial terms
* Awareness of data privacy and IP issues relevant to SaaS companies
* Ability to work autonomously, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively in a fully remote setting
How We Work
Codility is fully remote and globally distributed. We trust our people to take ownership, move quickly, and deliver exceptional outcomes with integrity. Our legal team is lean and pragmatic, and we value crisp thinking, thoughtful process-building, and proactive individuals who take initiative.
We care deeply about inclusion, transparency, and experimentation. We listen to each other, challenge respectfully, and change our minds when needed. Your contributions will be seen, appreciated, and impactful.
