Your new company
A global business behind some of the most iconic private education brands in the world, with its headquarters in fantastic offices in London. The business has excellent backing, a growing legal team and a great breadth of work for a driven commercial lawyer.

Your new role
A Senior Counsel role reporting into the General Counsel, with responsibility for managing a few junior legal professionals, including Paralegals and Trainees. This is a varied commercial generalist role, effectively the number two to the GC, with daily matters including negotiating and reviewing a host of legal agreements, and advising on interesting data privacy, governance, IP and property matters. The positioning of the role will ensure the successful candidate is involved in the strategic conversations across the business.


What you'll need to succeed
You will be a UK qualified lawyer trained in private practice with at least six years' PQE (as a guide only). You will have strong academics and demonstrable experience working under pressure in a fast-paced commercial environment. While previous managerial experience is a bonus, this is a great role to get your first taste of supervising junior legal professionals. You will have stayed in practice for at least a couple of years post-training, while in-house experience, though useful, is not a prerequisite.


What you'll get in return
You will work within a well regarded team with exceptional career backgrounds and a high performance culture. This team is vital to the rest of the business and is involved from all matters from the start. You will gain great people management exposure and a clear career progression path to the head of the commercial team. There is also flexible working on offer in addition to an excellent benefits package.
