AEG is one of the leading sports and entertainment presenters in the world, with a significant presence in the UK and throughout Europe (trading as AEG Europe). This includes such iconic and large-scale music arenas as The O2 arena, Uber Arena in Berlin and Barclays Arena in Hamburg.
AEG Presents, which is part of AEG, is one of the UK’s leading concert promoters, festival producers and, in the UK, also owns/operates smaller-sized venues such as the Eventim Apollo, Indigo at The O2 in London and the Wolverhampton Civic Halls.
We are seeking a pro-active, energetic and confident Senior Legal Counsel with 5-6 years post-qualification experience to join our legal team and help manage the day-to-day legal requirements of AEG Europe and AEG Presents’ business activities, providing general legal advice and support in all areas of commercial contracting and operations. Based in the European head office in central London (although we welcome flexible working conversations), the successful candidate will report to the VP & Asst. General Counsel while supporting the wider AEG Europe and AEG Presents legal team. The new Senior Legal Counsel will assist the legal team with all aspects of the legal function within AEG Europe and AEG Presents, including involvement in a diverse range of commercial and legal matters across venues and businesses in the UK and Europe as well as touring activities and festival properties, including:
supporting venue operations, including third party hires, filming agreements, premises licence applications/variations, service provider agreements, and real estate and development-related agreements (including drafting and negotiation of real estate documents such as licences to alter, licences to occupy spaces at AEG’s venues, reviewing tenant leases and other real estate documents in response to queries raised by the business);
drafting, reviewing, negotiating and finalising a range of commercial agreement-types: sponsorship (for venues and events), joint venture arrangements, venue hire, agreements relating to hospitality offerings at AEG venues and events, ticketing and hospitality, major artist performance contracts (including multi-territory / international) and co-promotion and sell-off contracts with partners throughout Europe;
building constructive working relationships with AEG’s promoter, festival and venue teams and other senior staff to facilitate regular communication of deal terms and to support their legal requirements across the full breadth of the AEG Presents’ business areas;
managing a wide range of varied commercial deals across AEG’s music festivals and outdoor concerts (such as securing land rights, event production, artist performance, filming, contractor/service provider engagements and F&B operations);
providing general support and legal advice to the business, including compliance, data protection/GDPR (including working with the Data Protection Officer in respect of data protection related queries), insurance, company secretarial, health and safety, IP/trademarks, litigation, employment, NDAs, CAP code/ASA compliance, consumer rights, ticketing terms and conditions and website terms and policies; assisting with the compilation, maintenance and updating of Legal department know how and assisting with the review and preparation of precedent agreements.
A strong track record in commercial negotiations and contracting.
Ability, and enthusiasm, to provide support, supervision and developmental guidance to more junior members of the legal team (notwithstanding that, in the immediate term, there will be no formal line management).
Previous in-house experience as part of a commercial legal team.
The ability and experience to confidently and proactively lead on high-level commercial negotiations in often dynamic and challenging environments.
In particular, a desire to embrace and thrive in a close knit, supportive and dynamic legal team which is highly respected across the AEG business.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential, with strong interpersonal skills and high emotional intelligence, and the ability to communicate confidently with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.
A flexible and positive attitude to work.
