Your new company
A true global leader within the technology retail sector, this is a household name at the cutting edge of its industry. The company has an incredible legacy and European headquarters in Central London.

Your new role
A junior legal counsel position as part of an immediate team of four lawyers. This is a newly created position, due to sizeable workload within the team.

You will build relationships across the business, ensuring you adapt to a fast-paced and sometimes manic environment, where there can be an occasional lack of structure. There is scope for the role to develop additional responsibility for a candidate who is able to show the right pro-active and technical qualities.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a junior commercial lawyer with up to two years' PQE, though Paralegals or newly-qualified lawyers with excellent experience will also be considered. You will have strong commercial contracts exposure, either with a top firm or a notable in-house legal function with a blue-chip company. You will be expected to bring entrepreneurial spirit, adaptability and the ability to build relationships at all levels. You will have appreciation of what it is to represent a global brand, and you will have the pro-activity to make a significant contribution to the organisation.

What you'll get in return
You will be rewarded with an excellent salary and package, and you will be working with a respected, experienced team that will only enhance your own ability. There is potential for the role to develop long term.
