Legal Counsel - 2-5 PQE - Manufacturing / Energy - East Mids

We are delighted to be working with a cutting‑edge business operating at the intersection of manufacturing and energy. The company is in a strong growth position and continuing to innovate within its sector. As part of this expansion, they are now seeking an ambitious Legal Counsel (2‑5 PQE) to join their high‑performing team.

Reporting directly into the Head of Legal, the remit of the role includes:

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a wide range of commercial agreements, with a strong focus on customer‑facing contracts.
• Providing pragmatic, business‑focused legal advice to internal stakeholders across the organisation.
• Supporting on regulatory and compliance matters relevant to the manufacturing and energy sectors.
• Assisting with risk management and corporate governance matters.
• Collaborating closely with sales and senior leadership teams.
• Providing support on ad‑hoc legal queries as they arise.

Target Candidates

• a) a lawyer already working in‑house who is seeking a broader, more commercially focused role with increased exposure and responsibility;
• b) a private practice lawyer looking to make their first move in‑house within an innovative and fast‑paced manufacturing/energy environment.

You will have a strong grounding in commercial law, with experience in manufacturing, engineering, energy or technology sectors being advantageous but not essential.

The business operates a hybrid working policy, offering flexibility alongside time in their East Midlands office.

If you feel you fit most of these requirements, but not quite all of them, we are still keen to hear from you.
