An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Legal Counsel to join a collaborative and highly regarded in‑house legal team within a complex and fast‑paced organisation.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to step into – or further develop within – an in‑house legal role where curiosity, initiative, and relationship‑building are highly valued.
