In-House Legal Recruitment Consultant @ Arbuthnot Yon | Legal Recruiting
A highly profitable, UK-headquartered global business is looking for an experienced Senior Corporate Lawyer (6+ PQE) to join its high-performing and extremely supportive legal team following a period of international growth. Midlands-based – hybrid working.
This is a newly created position for a corporate lawyer to step into a strategic, wide-ranging in-house position, working directly with the Group General Counsel and closely with the Senior Leadership and Board. This opportunity offers a high level of autonomy and requires a confident corporate lawyer who is looking to step into a wide role enabling you to broaden your experience in an international environment, including leading or supporting the following projects across the Group:
* Lead on corporate projects including corporate transactions, finance & tax-led transactions, managing incentive/share schemes, investor funding projects and restructuring and M&A;
* Support on governance and board activity – board reporting, policies (ABC, Code of Conduct), and best practice frameworks.
* Partner with Group Finance on debt funding, covenant compliance and new and existing financing arrangements (with support from externals).
* Supporting on more general Group commercial matters, including procurement, general commercial agreements, IP and portfolio management;
What makes this opportunity stand out?
* Rare opportunity to do quality corporate work in-house in an international Group
* Excellent exposure to global strategy and business growth
* Opportunity to broaden experience into a wider-ranging role across the business, gaining greater stakeholder engagement and Board Level involvement
* Friendly, supportive, and ambitious culture – having supported this client for many years, we have placed numerous lawyers within this very friendly and collaborative team
* Strong long-term progression for the right candidate
* Competitive salary package including car allowance, 25% bonus and heavily discounted childcare
What we're looking for:
* Minimum 6 years’ PQE (private practice or in-house) of broad corporate matters – it is not necessary to have experience of all the aspects of the role, but a strong desire to diversify is essential
* Excellent technical ability and strong interpersonal skills
* Self-starter with a proactive, commercial mindset
* Experience with cross-border/international matters would be beneficial but not essential
* No prior in-house experience required
Most lawyers who move in-house report greater career satisfaction, stronger relationships across the business, and a more balanced lifestyle, particularly those that move from a corporate private practice role. If you're looking to make a meaningful, long-term move and help shape the future of a global, purpose-led company, this is a rare opportunity to do so.
