SENIOR RETAIL & FASHION LAWYER, 1YR FTC

RETAIL & FASHION LAWYER, c. 8 PQE+
1 YEAR FTC, START AUGUST
4 OR 5 DAY WEEK, HYBRID

We are looking for an experienced lawyer to join our clients’ team in a maternity cover role starting in August. 

We are looking for consumer-facing branded goods (ideally but necessarily fashion) experience. This is a senior, self-sufficient position covering the spread of issues a Head of Legal would cover, regularly reporting to the C-Suite but liaising with stakeholders at all levels. You will instruct and manage external counsel as required and oversee & mentor more junior members of the team.

This is a 4/5 days per week role with 2 days WFH, 2 days in the Central London office.

The spread of work is likely to include:

• service-provider agreements (across IT/ecomms/SaaS support, web, influencers, marketing, logistics etc);
• trademarks, copyright, design rights and related IP agreements;
• collaboration agreements, image licensing etc.;
• competition law issues, eg. regarding pricing and familiarity with the new EU VABR and UK VABEO;
• data matters such as GDPR implementation and practical impacts;
• consumer law: Consumer Rights Act and implications for brand/customer communications;

Personality and cultural fit is critical: we are looking for flexible, committed and personable team players, who thrive on building relationships and trust. You will learn much about the business and stakeholders from the more junior members of the team, so humility and good listening skills are a must!

If you are passionate about brands, fashion & retail, you can start in August and like the idea of work variety and a great team, get in touch ASAP!
