Interim General Counsel / Corporate Restructuring Lawyer (3–6 months)
I’m working with an acquisitive, founder-led, international digital education business seeking an experienced interim lawyer to lead a significant corporate restructuring project.
This is a hands-on, strategic assignment working directly with the CEO and senior leadership team.
The successful candidate will lead the legal workstream for a proposed international group reorganisation, coordinating external advisers across multiple jurisdictions and driving the execution of a complex cross-border corporate project.
We’re looking for someone who has experience of:
• Cross-border corporate restructurings
• Holding company reorganisations
• Share-for-share exchanges and group simplifications
• Corporate/M&A transactions
• Working alongside tax advisers, lenders and external counsel
• Advising founders, CEOs and boards on strategic corporate projects
This is not a tax advisory role. We’re looking for someone who can provide commercial judgement, lead the legal workstream and manage the overall execution of the project.
Ideally you’ll have:
- Senior in-house GC or Head of Legal experience
- Strong corporate/M&A background
- Experience in fast-growth, PE-backed or international businesses
- Excellent stakeholder management skills
- Ability to operate autonomously with founders and senior executives
Practicalities
- Immediate start preferred
- Interim / fractional (flexibility depending on availability)
- London-based with hybrid working
- Competitive day rate
