About the Role
This is a broad in-house Legal Counsel position offering exposure across the business, with a particular focus on data protection/GDPR, commercial law and corporate matters, alongside occasional employment law topics. Given the international footprint of the business, you’ll gain regular exposure to cross-border legal work across multiple European jurisdictions, working with colleagues and external advisers across different markets. Working as part of a lean and highly regarded legal function, you’ll have considerable autonomy and direct exposure to senior decision-makers. It’s particularly well suited to a lawyer who enjoys variety, wants to work close to the commercial side of the business and is looking for a role where no two days are quite the same.

- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a broad range of commercial contracts
- Supporting on corporate and company law matter

- Advising management and different business functions on legal risks and practical solutions
- Supporting on occasional employment law matters in collaboration with HR and external counsel where required
- Managing external counsel where specialist or jurisdiction-specific advice is required
- Helping further develop legal processes, templates and ways of working as the business evolves
Requirements
- Fully qualified German lawyer (Volljurist/in), having completed both German State Examinations
- Experience advising on commercial law and contracts
- Good knowledge of GDPR and data protection
