Legal Counsel in City of London

Job description

Legal Counsel | Shape the Future of Legal Operations | London

Are you a dynamic legal professional ready to redefine what in-house legal counsel looks like?

Join Tecknuovo, a deliberately different technology consultancy where legal advice isn't just reactive, it's integrated into every business decision, driving commercial value, and enabling agile operations across our scaling business.

This isn't your typical legal role

Forget siloed legal departments. As our Legal Counsel, you'll be at the heart of business operations, working face-to-face with our London team 4 days a week, embedded within our innovative Business Operations Hub. You'll report directly to our Chief Legal & Sustainability Officer and have the unique opportunity to build the legal function alongside our growth trajectory.

What makes this opportunity special?

• Business Integration: Your legal expertise directly shapes commercial strategy and day-to-day operations
• Growth Pathway: Perfect stepping stone for ambitious lawyers eyeing Head of Legal positions
• Diverse Portfolio: From cutting-edge IP and AI compliance to commercial contracts and employment law
• Agile Environment: Work with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, innovation-driven consultancy
• Ownership Culture: Take genuine ownership of legal matters in a business that values autonomy and initiative

You'll thrive here if you:

Have 3-4 years post-qualification experience with at least 2 years in-house

Combine strong commercial acumen with pragmatic legal thinking

Excel at stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration

Are curious about emerging tech (AI, machine learning) and their legal implications

Want to challenge the status quo and drive continuous improvement

Seek a role where legal expertise creates competitive advantage

Your impact areas:

Commercial Excellence: Draft and negotiate customer agreements (with a focus on public sector frameworks) and supplier agreements, managing full contract lifecycles

Strategic Advisory: Provide commercially focused legal guidance across employment, data protection, public procurement for customer frameworks, procurement/supply chain, and regulatory compliance

Innovation Leadership: Navigate IP protection for proprietary technologies and advise on AI/emerging tech legal frameworks

Operational Excellence: Develop legal systems and processes that scale with our growth

Risk Management: Support dispute resolution and ensure regulatory compliance across IT consultancy operations

Why join our Business Operations Hub?

Our Hub isn't just support, it's the engine that drives operational excellence and competitive advantage. You'll work alongside Quality, IT, Business Assurance, and Sustainability teams under dynamic leadership, with a customer service mindset and commitment to continuous improvement.

Ready to grow with us?

We're committed to your development with bespoke training, study support, and opportunities to lead initiatives. This role offers genuine progression potential for the right candidate looking to evolve into senior legal leadership.
