In-House Legal Counsel

An excellent opportunity for a Commercial Solicitor to progress in their career with an international food business, manufacturing a number of household name brands, as In-House Legal Counsel. Office location is Cambridge but the business is very flexible and happy to consider applicants looking to work largely remotely with office attendance likely to be required on a once weekly or fortnightly basis.

It is a truly exciting time to join this team, an integral part of an increasingly large and complex business, offering significant scale and variety in terms of the nature of work on offer.

Whilst well supported by an existing team, you will be afforded lots of autonomy to really make this role your own and take responsibility for a range of diverse legal matters including:

- The drafting and negotiation of a range of commercial contracts (procurement, sales, operations etc.),

- Ts & Cs for marketing promotions and advising on consumer law,

- Re-structurings and co-sec matters,

- Compliance and competition issues,

- Real estate,

- Intellectual Property and;

- Disputes.

You will have the opportunity to work closely with overseas Counsel on cross border projects and will have exposure to international matters, for example in relation to European supply contracts.

It is not a pre-requisite that applicants have experience in all of the above areas but ideally you will have a strong grounding in commercial contracts law, having trained with a major law firm or established in house team. You will be a commercial thinker, willing and able to turn your hand to the many different issues which may cross your desk.

This position would be best suited to a commercial solicitor, ideally with a minimum of c. 4 years PQE.
