Director of Legal

2 months ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom Transport for London Full time
About the Role

The Director of Legal will play a pivotal role in setting the legal strategy for Transport for London and the wider Greater London Authority group, overseeing a directorate of approximately 100 legal professionals and managing an associated budget of around £5 million.

As a senior leadership position, the Director of Legal will provide expert legal counsel on a wide range of issues, including complex commercial contracts and infrastructure projects, property and planning matters, employment law, public and regulatory law, and commercial disputes.

The Director of Legal will be responsible for ensuring that the Legal Directorate maintains the appropriate levels of expertise and resources across all specialisms, managing legal risks, providing strategic guidance on significant transactions and complex issues and disputes that could have significant reputational and financial impact.

The role will involve regular interaction with the most senior levels of the organisations advised, including the Commissioner, Executive Committee, and Directors of Transport for London, senior officers across the Greater London Authority Group, and key stakeholders across Government departments and external partners.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a high-performing legal team in one of the UK's most dynamic public sector organisations, influencing the legal landscape of London's transport network and beyond.

About You

You will be a professionally qualified solicitor or barrister in the UK (or equivalent jurisdiction) operating at a senior level, with extensive post-qualification experience within a complex public sector or regulated environment.

Your background will demonstrate a deep expertise across multiple areas of law, with a proven track record of successfully managing significant legal matters of high value and complexity.

As a strategic leader, you will possess exceptional communication and influencing skills, with experience of engaging credibly and effectively at the highest levels of your organisation (up to and including Board level) and of navigating politically sensitive issues.

You should be able to demonstrate a highly developed ability to assimilate complex and ambiguous information and to get to the core of situations to provide clear legal direction. Strong communication and negotiation skills will be essential to bring credibility to relationships.

You will have experience leading large and diverse teams of legal professionals, fostering a culture of collaboration, development, and excellence and will be driven by best practice and ensuring your team remains at the forefront of legal expertise through ongoing professional development and training programmes.

You will have extensive experience of overseeing relationships with external legal providers, ensuring that your organisation's legal services are delivered in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

Your ability to balance legal risks with strategic objectives will be crucial in helping Transport for London navigate the complex legal landscape in which it operates, ensuring that all business activities are conducted in accordance with statutory powers, internal standing orders, and relevant regulations.
