I am collaborating with a globally recognized brand and an exceptional Legal team who are looking for a Legal Counsel to join their team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded employment lawyer with international exposure and cross border experience looking to advance their career in the entertainment/sports sector.

Benefits of this role include:

💥International exposure (including US) and cross border projects
💥A superb manager, who is known to us and a collaborative and supportive team
💥A hugely diverse range of work and commercial exposure with the autonomy to execute it
💥Being part of a dynamic team and business

Who are they looking for? 🤷‍♀️

✅You must be 5-7 years PQE+ (minimum) and have international exposure and experience of dealing with cross border issues and multiple territories.
✅There is a lean towards US focus in this role so this would be highly beneficial.
✅Ideal candidates will have some in-house experience, but those with secondments and in-house exposure are also encouraged to apply.
✅You do not need to have an agency or sports background, but employment lawyers focused on UK/Ireland or whose roles is weighted towards litigation will not be suitable for the type of work required from day one
✅The role is 3 days a week in the office and based in Hammersmith
