Job Description:

Legal Counsel – High Profile Consumer Brands (In-House)

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for a commercial lawyer to join a major international consumer business at a time of strategic focus and growth within its food and branded products division.

This is a broad, high-impact in-house role supporting a portfolio of well-known consumer brands. You will act as a true business partner, advising senior stakeholders on a wide range of matters including commercial contracts, brand/IP, regulatory and digital initiatives — all within a fast-paced, multi-brand environment.

Key highlights:

  • Broad, varied workload across multiple established brands
  • Opportunity to develop strong commercial judgement in a dynamic environment
  • Part of a large, international group with a diverse and evolving portfolio

About you:

  • Qualified lawyer (c.2–6 PQE) with strong commercial contracts experience (although all candidates with demonstrable experience will be considered)
  • Ideally some in-house or secondment experience
  • Background in FMCG, retail, consumer or a similarly commercial sector is advantageous but is not an absolute requirement
  • Commercially minded, pragmatic and keen to operate close to the business

This is an excellent move for a lawyer looking to step into a genuinely business-facing in-house role with breadth, responsibility and long-term development potential.
