Group Legal Counsel – UK & EU

Company: TT Electronics plc
Apply for the Group Legal Counsel – UK & EU
Location:
Job Description:

London (Hybrid – 3 days office)

TT Electronics, a global electronics manufacturer powering everything from satellites to stairlifts (yes, even the Mars Rover!), is looking for a proactive, commercially minded Group Legal Counsel to join their small but high‑impact legal team.

With a new CEO, renewed momentum, and a focus on growth – including an active M&A agenda – this is an exceptional opportunity to step into a broad, influential, high‑visibility role at a UK‑listed PLC.

Why TT Electronics?

  • A close‑knit, high‑energy legal team with real influence
  • Exposure to the full legal spectrum: commercial, M&A, compliance, governance, IP, litigation
  • A business with real engineering expertise and a compelling growth story
  • Head office relocated to London (Bank) in 2026 – bringing new energy into the organisation
  • Genuine opportunity to shape legal strategy and partner directly with leadership

This is the perfect role for someone wanting to move in‑house or take the next step up in responsibility – breadth, ownership, and variety come as standard.

The Role

As Group Legal Counsel – Europe, you’ll report directly to the Group General Counsel & Company Secretary and act as a trusted advisor across TT’s UK and EU operations. You’ll handle:

Core Responsibilities

  • Leading on commercial contracting across customers, suppliers, consultancy and distribution agreements
  • Supporting and leading elements of M&A transactions, including diligence, execution and integration
  • Supporting compliance across data protection, export controls, anti‑bribery, and wider regulatory matters
  • Managing litigation and disputes
  • Contributing to strong corporate governance across EU
  • Advising on IP considerations (primarily soft IP)
  • Partnering with business leaders as a genuine “sounding board”
  • Liaising with top‑tier external counsel
  • Providing training across sites – including UK travel and occasional trips to Asia

You’ll work closely with a small, agile legal team including the GC, a Deputy CoSec, a US-qualified lawyer, and your counterpart in the UK/Asia region.

What We’re Looking For

  • England & Wales qualified solicitor
  • 4+ PQE (sweet spot: 4–8 PQE)
  • Strong background in M&A (either in practice or in‑house)
  • Experience in commercial contracts with an interest to learn more
  • Ability to communicate complex issues simply and effectively
  • A collaborative, positive personality – cultural fit is key
  • Someone who loves rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in
  • No sector experience needed (but always a bonus)

This is a role for someone who wants variety, visibility, and meaningful impact – not a siloed specialist seat.

Working Pattern & Environment

  • 3 days/week in the office
  • Travel to UK sites encouraged (4–6 times per year)
  • Join a vibrant head office of ~20 people with real cross‑functional collaboration
