We are working with a highly dynamic, fast-moving consumer business based in West London who are seeking a Legal Counsel (6-7 years PQE) to join its in-house legal team. This is a broad, hands-on role offering genuinely varied work in a fast-paced B2C environment, with close exposure to commercial decision-making across the business.
The Role:
Working closely with senior stakeholders, the Legal Counsel will provide pragmatic, commercially focused legal advice across a wide range of matters, including:
* Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a variety of commercial agreements, including supplier, distribution, marketing, advertising, sponsorship and technology contracts.
* Advising on UK consumer law, including product launches, pricing, promotions, advertising and customer-facing terms and conditions.
* Partnering with marketing, product, digital and commercial teams to support new initiatives and campaigns.
* Supporting data protection and privacy matters (GDPR).
* Managing external legal advisers where required.
* Assisting with general corporate, governance and day-to-day legal matters.
* Contributing to the ongoing development of legal processes and templates within a growing in-house function.
Candidate Profile:
* Qualified solicitor in England & Wales (or equivalent).
* Ideally 6–7 years’ PQE straight from Private Practice, a background from a Global Consumer Business or a mix of private practice and inhouse.
* Strong experience in commercial contracts, ideally within a consumer or B2C context.
* Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, changeable environment.
* Commercial, practical and confident working directly with non-legal stakeholders.
* In-house experience is advantageous but not essential.
