West Midlands Combined Authority, United Kingdom LHH Recruitment Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Legal Counsel to join our team in the West Midlands. As a key member of our legal team, you will provide strategic legal guidance on commercial matters, reporting to the General Counsel.

In this dynamic role, you will work closely with senior leadership and teams across multiple jurisdictions, advising on contract negotiations, risk management, and legal compliance. You will also have the opportunity to travel ad-hoc to Germany to offer in-person legal support and ensure confidentiality and legal compliance across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Provide expert legal advice on various commercial issues, including contract negotiations, vendor relationships, and corporate governance.
  2. Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts to ensure they align with the business's objectives and comply with all relevant laws and regulations.
  3. Collaborate with senior leaders and cross-functional teams to identify and mitigate legal risks, resolve disputes, and ensure the business complies with corporate policies and external regulatory requirements.
  4. Support the business in its European operations, offering legal counsel on compliance matters, intellectual property, data protection, and more.
  5. Provide ad-hoc legal support in Germany, travelling as necessary to assist with on-the-ground legal matters and maintain confidentiality across all business activities.

The ideal candidate will be a qualified lawyer in either the UK or Germany, with significant experience in commercial law, particularly in contract negotiation and risk management. A fluency in German and English is also essential.

This is an exciting opportunity for a German-speaking attorney who wants to work in a hybrid environment, with 2 days per week required on-site in Birmingham. Salary is dependent on experience, but benefits include a bonus and car allowance.
