Interim Senior Legal Counsel – Corporate & Commercial | PE-Backed Global Business | Remote + Occasional Travel

Are you a smart, adaptable corporate or commercial lawyer looking to get involved in a truly global, PE-backed success story? This is your chance to join a high-performing legal team at a pivotal moment in their journey – with an IPO firmly on the horizon.

This fast-growing international business operates across 20+ countries, with a strong footprint in the UK, Ireland, Europe, and Canada. Having already dominated a major share of its domestic market, the company is expanding rapidly into new territories and scaling at pace. As they prepare for their next stage of growth, the legal team is looking for an interim Senior Legal Counsel to support on a range of corporate, commercial, and regulatory matters.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work closely with senior legal leaders in a collaborative, dynamic team, focusing on:

• Supporting competition and regulatory projects (with external counsel support)
• Helping with fact-finding, project coordination, and drafting across a range of legal workstreams
• Advising on general commercial contracts and corporate matters
• Working cross-functionally with colleagues in legal, compliance, operations, and beyond

What They’re Looking For

• A qualified lawyer with a background in corporate or commercial law
• Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, change-driven environment
• Able to juggle varied work and operate with confidence and independence
• A strong communicator who enjoys being part of a collaborative, purpose-driven team
• Available to start ASAP, ideally for a contract running to September, with high potential for extension

Why This Role?

• Join a best-in-class legal team led by an outstanding GC with a reputation for developing exceptional talent
• Work with top-tier legal minds in a business that values quality and commercial thinking
• Enjoy a high level of autonomy and variety, while being supported by experienced external counsel
• Remote-first setup, with occasional travel to the HQ
• A rare opportunity to be part of a private equity success story as it gears up for a major IPO
