Job description

An exciting opportunity for an Export Counsel to join one of LOD’s longest standing clients for a period of 12 months.

The role involves managing the Company's Export Compliance Programme for EMEA, covering both export controls and sanctions. This includes but is not limited to:

• Working closely with the Company's Logistics teams by providing legal advice and support to facilitate the export of physical goods from jurisdictions across EMEA.
• Obtaining export licenses and completing exporter registrations and drafting and reviewing export related policies and procedures.
• Providing ongoing EMEA export compliance support to projects and teams across the Company, including responding to ad hoc export control and sanctions queries.
• Advising on the application of encryption controls in EMEA.
• Providing EMEA Export Compliance training to relevant teams.

This assignment is due to start as soon as possible and is expected to run for 12 months. Ideally you will be working full time, although we can consider 4 days per week.

This is an excellent opportunity to work in a great team!

Why Join LOD?

People come to us for a whole range of reasons – they might be looking for time for their interests, for work alongside other projects, or just want a change. What they all have in common is a desire for high quality work coupled with a degree of control that traditional models can’t offer, but LOD can.

All of our LODs have worked at top tier firms or as part of major in-house teams. We only accept a small percentage of applications as we choose lawyers who are not only technically excellent, but who can work seamlessly with our client’s teams. This ensures we can offer our lawyers consistently high-quality assignments.

We can offer:

• Varied, challenging, career-enhancing work with market leading brands (from Google to Barclays, and Amex to adidas) as well as exciting growth companies.
• Flexibility and autonomy: you can work anything from full-time on site with a client to a few hours each week from home.
• Training and know-how, as well as support from our dedicated HQ Team.
• A variety of flexible models that include working at the client’s offices or remotely.
