Senior Legal Counsel (In-House) | Corporate & Commercial | Birmingham
One of our key clients is looking to appoint a Senior Legal Counsel into a broad 50% corporate / 50% commercial in-house role.

This is a genuinely hands-on role where you’ll be:
- Running acquisitions
- Managing external counsel on larger transactions

- Working closely with senior leadership in a fast-paced environment

- Confidence running transactions, not just supporting
It’s high exposure role working with a talented General Counsel and wider team. There is also genuine scope for progression and long-term growth as the business continues to expand and evolve.
The package is strong, with bonus and car allowance on top of base salary.
If you’re an ambitious in-house corporate/commercial lawyer who enjoys both deals and commercial contracting - and wants to operate in a decisive, entrepreneurial business - feel free to message me for a confidential conversation.
