Legal Counsel – 247 Group

247 Group is an international organization focused on fitness, health, and related sectors. Its core business centers on gym and fitness operations, primarily through its largest brand, Fitness24Seven (annual turnover of approximately 150M €), which operates a standardized, low‑price, high‑volume model in several countries on three continents.

The group also manages niche and premium fitness concepts like THE I/O, targeting specific customer segments with more personalized services. Supporting these operations, 247 Group includes internal functions such as real estate, finance, IT, legal, HR, and organizational development to ensure efficiency and consistency across its companies.

The group also owns real‑estate entities managing property assets tied to its operations. Additionally, the independent Esperança foundation reflects the group's commitment to social responsibility, focusing on charitable initiatives to support communities in need. Overall, 247 Group balances operational businesses with structural support, combining standardized processes and local market adaptability.

Main Purpose of the Job

Ensure that the 247 Group (6 legally registered entities currently in Spain with focus on Fitness – the IO – and Real Estate) and its owner receive legal advice within strategic and operational matters. Ensure that the 247 Group and its owner meet legal requirements in Spain and other countries where we operate commercially.

Main Responsibilities

• Take an active part in business development, negotiations and legal aspects on operational matters, including litigation, expansion and new business ideas.
• Take overall responsibility for legal documentation and contracts (members, suppliers, rental agreements, employees, etc.).
• Execute directives on group restructuring, the founding of companies and other group legal affairs.
• Identify and minimise legal risks and exposure for 247 Group companies and owner.
• Secure loan agreements and other inter‑company transactions.
• Lead legal‑specific projects and participate in development projects, such as concept or business development projects or construction undertakings.
• Be a driving force in financial analysis, investment valuation and business case modelling.
• Be an active and reliable sparring partner for the owner in commercial, tax and legal matters, also of private nature.
• Represent 247 Group and owner in relevant official contexts, such as contacts with authorities, suppliers, etc.
• Be an active and reliable contact for other departments within the group when dealing with legal matters.

Profile

• Personality: a high‑performance person with a drive to get things done and deliver results.
• A prestige‑free person with a 360‑degree approach.
• The ability to work independently with an eye on the greater business needs, while also thorough and giving attention to details.
• High integrity and mature professionalism.
• Knowing the importance of meeting deadlines and having a keen ability to multi‑task.
• Being able to work well in a flexible and ever‑changing environment.
• Communicate and cooperate efficiently both internally as well as externally; fluency in written and spoken English is a must; a strong and broad network in the Marbella/Andalusia area is considered a strong plus.
