About the Role
Senior Legal Counsel
The Opportunity
If you're ready to move from advising to actually shaping the legal function of a fast-growing business, this is worth a proper look.
This newly created role gives you a genuine seat at the table rather than a purely reactive brief. You'll have real scope to build out how legal operates as the organisation continues to expand.
The Role
You'll act as lead legal advisor to the executive management team, covering corporate and employment law across the group.
- Advise the board and senior leadership on corporate law matters, including restructurings, reorganisations and the setup of new entities
- Lead on individual and collective employment law, including works council relations and negotiations on strategically important issues
- Manage and quality-control external law firms across various legal areas
- Handle litigation and dispute resolution, both in and out of court
- Advise on general commercial law and contract matters
- Support cross-functional projects tied to the company's ongoing growth
The Company
Our client is a well-established, growing organisation. It's a business that moves quickly, makes decisions without layers of bureaucracy, and backs the people it hires to get on with the job.
You'll join a collegial, flat-structured environment with short decision-making lines. The package includes 31 days' holiday, company pension, bike leasing and employee discounts, alongside hybrid working with two to three days a week on-site.
What You'll Need
- Both German state law exams (Volljurist)
- At least seven years' relevant experience as a lawyer or in-house counsel
- Strong background in corporate law, with solid experience in employment law and works council matters
- Experience managing and coordinating external law firms
- Fluent German and English
- Experience in the healthcare industry is preferred but not essential
