As part of the global legal team of over 20 people, you will enjoy a creative, challenging and collaborative environment where your ideas will be every bit as valued as your legal expertise.

• Review creative materials and marketing collateral for legal and regulatory compliance, including digital, influencer, and social media campaigns.
• Analyse contracts in response to questions from the business, and provide them with legally sound, practical advice, in a clear and commercially focused manner.
• Monitor legal and regulatory developments relevant to licensing, media, advertising, and technology.
• Provide creative solutions to business and legal issues, across a variety of subject matters, scenarios, and alternatives.
• Foster a ‘continuous improvement’ culture, helping to develop and maintain contract templates, policies and processes to protect the business and to create and maintain efficiencies.

Desired qualifications and requirements:

• UK qualified lawyer with 3-5 years’ PQE, having trained at a leading law firm or recognised in-house business.
• Experience gained in-house with a focus on consumer products and general commercial work.
• Knowledge of advertising and media law, particularly in a digital content or entertainment context, is advantageous.
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, communication (written and verbal), and organisational skills.
• Demonstrated ability to think strategically, assess potential risk, and devise commercially focused solutions.
• Excellent time management skills and an ability to effectively prioritise and work under deadlines whilst remaining calm and level-headed. A “can do” attitude is essential.
• Ability to work well both independently and in a team environment, and to build strong internal client relationships at all levels.
