The Client
The company is a Group of smaller limited companies, each operating as stand-alone entities. Specialising in the manufacture and sales of animal health and nutrition products (including veterinary and equine goods), this role will be varied in nature as you will be required to advise the Group as a whole.
The Role
Applicants must be able to show evidence that they can provide high quality legal advice to the Chairman and other members of the Senior Management Team. You will also work closely with the Head of Regulatory Affairs to maintain and update trade mark applications and registrations, in conjunction with the external trademark solicitors.
The successful candidate will be reporting directly to the Group Chairman whilst also working closely with the Chief Operating Officer, and will act as the in-house legal advisor to the Group. You will be charged with ensuring that the Group acts in an appropriate and legal way, in all the markets that they operate at all times.
You will also be required to annually review the Group's Distribution Agreements to ensure that they comply with relevant legislation and are protecting the Group at all times, whilst assisting the HR Department in disciplinary and performance procedures.
The Candidate
In addition to the relevant legal experience, the successful candidate must have the interpersonal skills to thrive. These would include having excellent time management, organisational, communication and IT skills, drafting expertise, well-constructed negotiation skills and the ability to identify key issues and present advice in a precise and understandable manner.
