Legal Counsel - Remote

An excellent opportunity for a Commercial Solicitor with German language skills, to progress in their career with an international food business which manufactures a number of household name brands, as Senior In-House Legal Counsel. The legal team operates largely remotely so you will be home based with occasional (likely to be once monthly) travel to London.

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. It is a flexible working environment, led by a fantastic GC who you will work closely with.

You will be afforded lots of autonomy to really make this role your own and take responsibility for a range of diverse legal matters, encompassing the full range of commercial in house legal work such as: the drafting and negotiation of a range of commercial contracts (procurement, sales, operations etc.), Ts & Cs for marketing promotions and advising on consumer law, restructurings and co-sec matters, compliance and competition issues and more.

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. Due to this international exposure, the business is really looking to recruit somebody with professional working proficiency in German.

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. You will be a commercial thinker, willing and able to turn your hand to the many different issues which may cross your desk and existing in house experience is strongly preferred.

It is likely that this position will suit an in house Solicitor with c. 3-10 years PQE. This is simply given as a guide, and we are of course happy to discuss this opportunity with candidates who fall outside of this bracket but possess the relevant knowledge and experience to fulfil the requirements of the role.
