Commercial Legal Counsel — Engineering Group (4 or 5 days per week)
Our client is a large multinational engineering services group operating on a global basis.
As the business continues expanding into new markets, its legal team plays a central role in supporting that growth.
Key points:
• Min. 5+ years PQE
• Construction experience (either contentious or non-contentious) is required
• Reporting to the Group General Counsel
• The role is very broad in nature (construction law work is just one part)
• Strong bonus and benefits, very good work-life balance
• Potential to work a 4 day week – depending on the candidate’s experience
This is a genuine opportunity for either a first move in-house from private practice, or an in-house lawyer looking to broaden their remit and gain international exposure. You will get hands-on experience across construction, corporate, commercial, disputes and compliance work, supporting a large multinational organisation as it expands into new jurisdictions.
Responsibilities
• Provide day-to-day construction, corporate and commercial legal advice across the group
• Draft, review and negotiate a broad range of commercial and corporate agreements, including on new country set-up, M&A and corporate restructurings
• Advise on data protection, corporate governance and regulatory compliance matters
• Support employment law and employee relations issues as they arise
• Manage and support disputes including litigation, arbitration, mediation and settlement negotiations
• Draft and negotiate construction-related documents such as main contracts, sub-contracts, bonds, parent company guarantees and novation agreements
• Coordinate external legal advisers across multiple jurisdictions
• Contribute to legal processes, contract templates, playbooks and governance frameworks
Requirements
• Qualified Solicitor in Ireland, ideally 5+ years PQE
• Experience gained in a mid-sized or large law firm and/or an in-house legal environment
• Construction law experience (contentious or non-contentious) and/or general commercial contracts experience
Please reach out to Sarah Kelly, Partner, The Panel, to discuss.
