Our client, one of the fastest growing businesses in the commercialisation of digital sports content across multiple platforms, seeks a senior lawyer to join its team. You will be expected to manage all legal issues arising out of the businesses expanding rights portfolio and will be the principal point of contact within the group on all matters regarding content acquisition. This will include working with senior management from across the group’s central commercial divisions. You will also be expected to assist when necessary with work from across the group’s central functions (including technology, regulatory and IP matters), particularly where such matters have a rights-related element.
Reporting into the Chief Commercial Officer, with a dotted line to the Group Head of Legal, this is an exciting opportunity to get heavily involved with the commercial guys.
Ideally you will have between 5-10 years’ PQE, and have trained and subsequently worked in a highly successful and recognised commercial team either in private practice, or a strong in-house team. You will also have significant experience in leading the drafting and negotiation of complex high value video content acquisition/ rights agreements and be comfortable taking responsibility for content licensing related matters. Experience in drafting and negotiating data rights agreements would be an advantage but not essential.
The team is incredibly collegiate, down to earth and quite relaxed, making for a great working environment. The work is of excellent quality and you will undertake a broad range of matters, so the role will suit someone proactive, flexible and creative.
