Legal Counsel – Commercial, M&A, Infrastructure

A leading organisation undergoing major transformation is looking for a talented Legal Counsel to join its high-performing in-house legal team. This is a standout opportunity for a commercial lawyer seeking varied, high-quality transactional work within a complex and dynamic operational setting.

Why this role?

This isn’t your typical in-house role. You’ll be supporting strategic initiatives that span M&A, infrastructure projects, procurement, port and vessel operations, and large-scale commercial agreements—all within a fast-paced, asset-intensive industry undergoing significant investment and change.

You’ll work closely with operational leaders and executives, contributing directly to high-level decision-making while managing legal risk and supporting long-term commercial success.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading and advising on a wide range of commercial contracts and complex cross-border transactions
  • Supporting M&A, JV, and strategic investment activity, ensuring smooth and compliant deal execution
  • Advising on regulatory and operational matters, especially across infrastructure and transport-related assets
  • Managing external counsel and working alongside key stakeholders across commercial, operational, and legal teams
  • Driving forward compliance, governance, and risk management initiatives

What we’re looking for:

  • 5–7 years’ PQE (flexible), qualified in England & Wales or an equivalent jurisdiction
  • Strong background in commercial and transactional law—either from private practice or in-house
  • Comfortable navigating complex regulatory environments and negotiating detailed contracts
  • Clear communicator with the ability to advise at an executive level and collaborate cross-functionally
  • Experience in asset-heavy or regulated sectors (infrastructure, logistics, maritime, transport, etc.) is a strong plus

This is an opportunity to:

  • Step into a role with high visibility and direct impact
  • Work across multiple business functions and legal disciplines
  • Be part of a forward-thinking legal team during a pivotal growth phase
  • Join a fast-paced industry where no two days look the same
