About

Your new companyWe 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 roleThe 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
