Job Details


Your new company
Head-quartered in Scotland, with an international presence, this rapidly growing and ambitious company has a proud history and strong track record for success. As a market leading organisation that continues to grow, the business is looking to appoint a robust commercial lawyer to work closely with the leadership and executive team.

Your new role
You will join the business as a Commercial Legal Counsel reporting into the Group Financial Director. Your role will involve you handling a broad range of commercial matters and you will advise the board on all legal, risk and compliance matters. As in-house counsel, you will be responsible for managing external lawyers and play a key role in driving a dedicated legal function for the business with significant exposure to senior leadership as well as taking a lead on data protection matters.

What you'll need to succeed
You must be a qualified Scottish solicitor with a valid practising certificate and a strong academic record. It is likely that you have already worked in-house so that you can add immediate value. Given the nature of the business, it is helpful although not essential that you have international experience. It is important that you can work seamlessly with the management board, the wider business and external advisors.

What you'll get in return
This is a unique permanent role and excellent opportunity for an ambitious commercial solicitor to influence and shape a functioning legal department. The salary and benefits package is competitive and negotiable depending on your experience and the value you can add.
The role offers tremendous scope to develop with the opportunity to get involved in high level strategic matters. There is also an opportunity for applicants available for interim work to be considered for the role on a temporary basis.
