STIR THINGS UP: LEGAL COUNSEL AT FEVER TREE?

c. 2-5 YEARS’ PQE

BROOK GREEN, LONDON & WFH HYBRID

FULL TIME OR 4 DAY/WEEK*

At Fever-Tree, they believe that if ¾ of your drink is the mixer, you should mix with the best — and the same goes for people. They are on the lookout for an additional Legal Counsel to join the small, close-knit legal team at London HQ and work across their award-winning global business.

Why This Role Might Be Your Perfect Mix:

You’ll work alongside the General Counsel & Company Secretary and one other Legal Counsel on everything from international distribution agreements to innovation projects, corporate governance, and IP. This is a truly varied and broad role. You’ll be entrusted with real responsibility, exposed to fascinating commercial work, and encouraged to bring your whole self to the role — whether you're negotiating a deal (or debating the best tonic vs ginger beer).

Who You Are:

• UK (or equivalent) qualified lawyer, indicatively between 2–5 years' PQE, with relevant commercial contracts drafting and negotiation experience – this is a must have
• In-house experience (or secondment) preferred — you know what it means to be close to the business
• Relationship-builder with excellent interpersonal skills
• Comfortable wearing many hats — and taking responsibility
• Curious, confident, and not a fan of ivory towers
• Bonus points for an interest in legal tech, process optimisation, or a well-organised filing system

What You'll Do:

• Draft and negotiate commercial agreements across multiple markets such as customer and distributor contracts, supply chain and procurement, etc. This will form at least 50% of the role’s remit
• Work on major cross-functional projects relating to innovation, new markets and collaborations
• Advise on corporate governance, regulatory compliance, IP employment, and much more
• Work directly with key stakeholders across this international business
• Help keep the legal function efficient, agile, and forward-thinking

Why Fever-Tree?

This is a global brand and AIM listed business that’s grown fast, without losing its entrepreneurial, people focussed spirit. You’ll get high-quality work, visibility across the business, and a team that values both high standards and good humour. Plus: great colleagues, excellent drinks, and a bar downstairs – really!
