FTSE250 Global Business | Broad Commercial & Compliance Focus

Headquartered in London, this organisation operates on a global scale and is undergoing significant transformation—offering the perfect platform for an ambitious lawyer to make a real impact.

The Opportunity

As Senior Legal Counsel, you'll sit at the heart of the organisation, supporting Group-level legal and compliance matters that reach across continents. Reporting directly to the General Counsel and based in a collaborative Head Office, you’ll enjoy a warm, inclusive culture while contributing to high-profile projects and global initiatives.

Your Role Will Include:

Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a range of commercial contracts and NDAs at Group level
Supporting Finance and Tax teams with ancillary agreements and parent-company guarantees
Coordinating management of the global trade mark portfolio and other IP matters
Advising on litigation issues—in the UK and internationally
Providing legal input on group restructurings and intragroup reorganisations
Managing external counsel relationships and handling ad hoc legal queries

Compliance & Ethics

Contributing to the global ethics and compliance programme, including policy development, training, and communications
Providing practical support in incident response and investigations
Driving digital innovation within the legal function, including AI adoption and process efficiencies

What We're Looking For

UK-qualified lawyer with ideally 5–7 years’ PQE
Solid training from a top-tier private practice, ideally complemented by in-house experience
Or straight from private practice with a corporate, commercial or commercial litigation top tier practice
Confidence working across commercial contracts, corporate matters, and litigation
Interest or experience in compliance, ethics, or data protection (a plus, not essential)
Strong commercial instincts, with the agility to adapt and learn on the job
A collaborative, hands-on team player who thrives in a dynamic, global environment
Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions

Experience in sectors such as infrastructure, energy, mining, or industrials is helpful but not required.

This role is ideal for a lawyer looking to broaden their expertise in a business-facing, globally integrated legal team. Whether you're stepping up into a broader role or looking for a stretch, you'll have the chance to shape your own development while contributing to something bigger.
