LHH is partnering with a well-established, international organisation to recruit a Legal Counsel into its in-house legal team on a 12 month fixed-term basis. The role is based in Oxfordshire and requires 2 days per week in-office.
This is a broad and commercially focused position, offering the opportunity to work closely with senior stakeholders across Marketing, Digital, Technology, Procurement and other commercial functions.
The successful candidate will take ownership of a varied workload spanning commercial contracts, marketing and advertising, digital initiatives, intellectual property and technology. It would suit a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys being close to the business, finding pragmatic solutions and working across a wide range of matters rather than operating within a narrow specialism.
The role
Working as part of an established in-house legal function, your responsibilities will include:
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a broad range of commercial agreements, including services, supplier, partnership, licensing and confidentiality agreements.
- Advising on marketing and advertising matters, including agency arrangements, creative campaigns, sponsorships, promotions, events and digital activity.
- Supporting matters relating to intellectual property & content licensing
- Advising stakeholders on social media, consumer-facing communications and digital marketing initiatives.
- Supporting a range of technology contracts and projects, which may include software, SaaS, cloud services and digital platforms.
About you
We are interested in speaking with UK-qualified lawyers, ideally with around 3+ years’ PQE, although candidates outside this range should not be discouraged from applying.
You are likely to have:
- Strong experience drafting and negotiating commercial contracts.
- Experience advising on legal matters in a B2C environment
- Good commercial judgement and an ability to provide clear, practical advice to non-legal stakeholders.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills.
- Both in-house lawyers and candidates currently working in private practice will be considered.
