Job description

I'm working with a leading professional services firm to recruit their new GC. The role will report to senior Directors, but you will have overall responsibility for the group legal function as their first in-house counsel.

They are looking for an in-house lawyer with roughly 6+ PQE (no upper limit on experience). The role will be fairly generalist, incorporating commercial aspects alongside regulatory, corporate, data protection, etc.

This is a great opportunity for the right lawyer to shape the legal function and contribute to a high-growth business, driving its commercial success as it expands.
