Job Details

About the Company:
A global market leader in logistics, transportation and defence solutions, with a rich history over 100+ years and an operational presence in over 95 countries. The business has a collaborative culture and an acquisitive history, alongside the resources and ambition to keep pushing forward. Serious about sustainability, the business also has an exceptional ESG programme and clear goals to Net Zero.
About the Role:
An exciting Legal Counsel role reporting into the Head of Legal, promising tangible career progression prospects and a rich scope of work. Supporting internal stakeholders across all verticals including logistics, defence and supply chain, you will negotiate and review complex commercial agreements on a cross-border basis, while advising internal teams on varied matters, including but not limited to legal compliance, employment and procurement. Working in a lean but high-profile team, you will build strong, trusted relationships with internal clients, external counsel and senior leadership. This role will entail three days per week in any of the business' national offices (including London, Buckinghamshire and Essex) as part of an established hybrid working culture.
About You:
You will be a commercial lawyer with exceptional commercial contracts experience in a reputable private practice firm and/or relevant in-house setting. Experience with contracts in the logistics, defence or transport sectors would be a bonus but is not a pre-requisite for the role. You will have sustained experience working in the UK if you are not E&W qualified. You will be solutions-focused, with the ability to give sound commercial advice and fit into the friendly and driven legal team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to build a long-term in-house career within the legal team of a global market giant, with the genuine opportunity to experience different parts of the business over time and realise career progression (both domestic and overseas). The role will pay a competitive salary, car allowance and bonus target as part of a comprehensive benefits package.
