4 days ago


Kent, United Kingdom Leonid Group Ltd Full time

About Leonid Group Ltd and the Role

Leonid Group Ltd, a multinational conglomerate operating predominantly within the heavy industries sector, is seeking an Executive Legal Director for European Operations to lead its legal function in Europe. Reporting directly into the Global General Counsel based in South America, this role will primarily support the European business on all commercial and corporate legal matters and will also report into the European MD.

The legal function in Europe has been established over the last 4 – 5 years, providing a solid foundation for growth. As Executive Legal Director for European Operations, you will have the opportunity to shape the legal workflows in IP, Compliance, Employment, Property, Disputes etc., as well as manage the external legal budget and Counsels.

What We Offer

This role would suit an experienced lawyer looking for a step up in scope and responsibility from Legal Counsel/Senior Counsel level to take ownership of a multi-jurisdictional function. You will work closely with the business and management team to navigate legal risk and assess business opportunities.

The role is designed to be hybrid, with face-time in the headquarters (located just outside the M25 South East of London) initially important as you build relationships in the business. A more flexible/remote work setup can follow as per your own and business needs.

A competitive salary of around £90,000 + significant bonus potential (depending on experience) is on offer.

Your Background

You will require strong foundational experience in Corporate/Commercial law, with expertise in a broader range of areas including those listed above advantageous but not essential. Previous experience within Heavy Industries or Energy is useful but not a pre-requisite.

Prior experience working in South America or with South American businesses/clients is extremely advantageous, and lawyers qualified in South American jurisdictions are strongly encouraged to apply. However, please note that the company is currently unable to sponsor applications, so you will need to already have the right to work in the UK.
