Our client operates in the energy and infrastructure sector, delivering complex, high-value projects in a highly regulated environment. Legal plays a central role in how the business operates - from commercial contracting through to compliance, governance and risk.
They’re looking for a Legal Counsel to join a strong, collaborative in-house legal team on a parental leave cover. You’ll handle a broad range of commercial and corporate legal matters, working closely with stakeholders across the business and providing clear, practical legal advice that supports day-to-day decision-making.
It’s a hands-on role with real responsibility, exposure to senior stakeholders, and the backing of a team that values clarity, ownership and good judgement.
Tasks
* Be the first point of contact for legal issues across sales, procurement, disputes, corporate governance and compliance.
* Draft, review and negotiate commercial contracts and legal documents that protect the business.
* Provide clear, commercial legal advice to internal stakeholders - not just risks, but pragmatic solutions.
* Drive compliance with laws, internal policies and contractual obligations across the business.
* Maintain and refine Terms & Conditions, flag risk, and put mitigation in place.
* Manage and coordinate external lawyers when specialist input is needed.
* Support corporate governance and statutory legal obligations
Requirements
* A German-qualified lawyer (Volljurist/in) with strong commercial experience in a corporate legal environment (contracts, compliance, corporate law).
* Excellent communicator - you explain legal issues without jargon and get buy-in.
* Comfortable working in an international team with a proactive, structured approach.
Benefits
* Step into a role with real ownership - not just ticking boxes but shaping how legal support works across the business.
* Work in a hybrid model that balances focus days with collaboration.
* Join a company operating at the intersection of technology and sustainable energy - where legal input directly supports innovation and growth.
If you’re a commercial lawyer who likes variety, ownership and working closely with the business, this role will suit you.
