Join to apply for the Legal Counsel (Brighton or Copenhagen) role at IO Interactive
We’re looking for a Legal Counsel to join us in either Brighton or Copenhagen. You’ll be the fourth full-time member of our legal team, alongside one student assistant, with another joining soon. We support the entire studio and help keep things running smoothly as we support Hitman and build 007 First Light, Project Fantasy, and more.
This is a great role if you’re early in your legal career and want to move fast, work broadly, and be close to the teams making the games. It’s a wide-ranging, hands-on position where you’ll use your legal training every day, not in a vacuum, but across all major contract negotiations at IOI. That includes talent deals for our Elusive Targets in Hitman (with actors like Mads Mikkelsen and Sean Bean), composers for the 007 First Light game, large-scale development agreements, publishing deals, and more.
We have a strong focus on keeping our great studio culture, which means we are in the studio four days a week. One day can be remote – if you want it.
How To Apply
No need for a long cover letter – tell us why this role interests you and what you will bring to the team. That’s what we will focus on.
What You Will Do
* Draft, review, and help negotiate a range of agreements: NDAs, vendor deals, licenses, and more
* Support teams across the business with day-to-day legal questions
* Keep templates and internal workflows up to date
* Help ensure compliance on privacy, IP, marketing, and similar topics
* Coordinate with external counsel when needed
Who You Are
* Legal qualification in Denmark or the UK
* Around 1–2 years of relevant experience – in-house, private practice, or similar
* A pragmatic, clear, structured approach to legal work
* Confidence working directly with non-lawyers across disciplines
* An interest in games or entertainment is a plus, not a requirement
