Your new company We are currently working exclusively with an extremely well-established and successful property organisation. They operate across various real estate functions and are a FTSE organisation. After another very successful year, they are now looking to recruit a Legal Counsel into their small and high-performing team. The business itself is predominantly properly development, and investment, and is an impressive and recognised name. Your new role The role itself will be to sit in a small team of three which is made up of General Counsel, a Senior Legal Counsel and now this position that is a newly created role. The wider Legal and Company Secretary team is up to ten, who you will liaise closely with. It is an excellent opportunity for someone to get into a growing and successful organisation that isn't too overly populated, giving the individual the ability to really make a big difference in the organisation and have some great exposure to senior stakeholders, as well as working alongside some impressive lawyers.The role is very much of a generalist nature, as you would expect in a small in-house team for a large organisation. However, the main focus areas are set out below: Deliver clear, practical and timely legal guidance on a wide spectrum of issues such as contractual matters, disputes, property transactions (including landlord-tenant matters), intellectual property, employment and data protection, among many others at times. Lead, support and develop legal secondees, ensuring strong performance and ongoing professional growth. Collaborate closely with teams and leaders across the organisation to spot potential legal concerns and provide clear, balanced guidance on risk and commercial impact. Create and update legal tools, templates and guidance materials to streamline processes and support the wider organisation. Evaluate and manage legal risks, ensuring all decisions reflect the organisation's strategic direction. Assist the business across a broad range of commercial and operational matters, including drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts and other legal documentation with suppliers, partners and various third parties. Oversee interactions with external law firms, securing specialist input that is both cost-efficient and of consistently high quality. Monitor changes in legislation and policy, offering forward-looking advice on new regulatory developments and emerging trends. Help internal teams understand the legal consequences of their decisions and equip them to manage associated risks confidently. Carry out any additional responsibilities that may reasonably arise as part of the role. What you'll need to succeed You will be an England and Wales qualified lawyer, Commonwealth will be considered, and you will be 3-6 PQE (guideline only). You will have good exposure to commercial contracts, and can be practice or in-house trained. If your career to date is private practice, you will have some exposure to in-house, a secondment as a minimum. As the role is of a generalist nature, ideally you will already work within a small team where various different areas of law are coming in day-to-day. You will be commercially focussed and an effective decision maker when needed, as well as having exposure to senior stakeholders and be able to hit the ground running. If you have some exposure to commercial real estate, that would be a bonus, but not a prerequisite. What you'll get in return You will get to be part of an impressive operation, have great exposure to senior stakeholders and work alongside a fantastic Senior Legal Counsel. They are innovative, knowledgeable, and come across very well. You will get to be involved in some really exciting work, at a monumental time for the organisation, and have plenty of opportunities for progression. The current Senior Legal Counsel also started as a Legal Counsel and has progressed in their career at the organisation.The role will pay up to £100,000 (experience depending) with a 15% pension contribution, up to 25% bonus and some excellent benefits.
