The Company
This esteemed British born, now global luxury brand is a leader in its field. The company now has a need for an interim Senior Legal Counsel to join the business and assist in a wide range of commercial matters (franchising, etc) and perhaps some real estate matters.
What this Role Offers
This is an excellent opportunity to work in varied role where you will work closely with the business at all levels and have genuine exposure to both corporate and creative. You will need to learn the unique culture of the business and very quickly become a trusted adviser to the business. You will have exposure to high quality and varied work.
What the Role Entails
As part of a small UK legal team, your key responsibility will be to provide commercial legal support to the business. The role will encompass franchising, IP, marketing, data privacy, supply chain, e-commerce and real estate. You will ensure risk is managed whilst the creative and commercial aspirations of the brand are effectively achieved. Whilst working with the support of the General Counsel, you will be required to be autonomous in dealing with a wide range of matters including compliance, data privacy, e-commerce, competition and marketing. You will need to liaise and advise the business directly on legal issues and risk in a commercial, understandable way.
Required Experience
A broad in-house background specifically incorporating general commercial contracts is essential, with any retail or luxury brands experience being highly regarded. Any experience in real estate would also be well-utilised. Experience working and advising senior management and also working in a global business are key. A demonstrated ability to operate and support an ambitious, creative global brand is also of importance. You must have excellent relationship management skills and extensive experience advising at all levels, including marketing, HR and senior management and you will need to be comfortable working directly with the business.
This is an excellent opportunity to work in a varied in-house legal role with a sought-after luxury brand. The position is a 9 month contract and requires someone to start relatively immediately.
