Your new company
My client is an international catering and restaurants group with an impressive portfolio of food brands. The business has grown well over the last few years, with an excellent level of funding and a fantastic leadership team. The London offices in the City are modern and open plan with a collaborative and friendly working environment. The in-house legal function boasts an excellent overall retention level and is fully integrated with the rest of the business, providing invaluable risk, legal and commercial guidance.
Your new role
A Legal Counsel position offering early management experience within a supportive team. You will primarily advise on a mix of commercial and data protection matters, including GDPR and general policy orientated work, supporting a privacy analyst. In addition, you will provide sound and ad hoc guidance on anti-corruption, competition, intellectual property and other matters, building relationships with busy finance, procurement, HR and compliance teams among others. This entrepreneurial business will also allow you the opportunity to manage a paralegal and a junior lawyer as part of the role, facilitating tangible career development.
What you'll need to succeed
You will be a commercial lawyer with at least 3-4 PQE (as a guide) with good exposure to data protection matters as well. You must have in-house exposure and a strong commercial mindset, enabling you to give good risk and legal advice. You will be able to manage internal stakeholders at all levels, and engage with a business on a strategic level, including sitting on relevant internal committees. You will have achieved strong academics and be able to handle a varied workload.
What you'll get in return
You will be rewarded with early career progression in the form of people management opportunities, as well as an excellent salary and benefits package. You will be given good levels of autonomy in a role within a talented legal function that has a proven record of being supportive, flexible and friendly.
