🚨 New Opportunity: Legal Counsel (NQ – 2 PQE) 🚨
Arbuthnot Yon is working exclusively with a listed global business to appoint a Legal Counsel to join its large, well-established in-house legal team.
We are keen to hear from bright NQ–2 PQE lawyers with a strong teamwork ethos and a commercial background who are either:
• looking to make their first move in-house, or
• seeking to further develop their in-house careers.
We do not expect you to have significant experience, rather we are seeking a junior lawyer who has a grounding in commercial contracts and is keen to lean and develop in a supportive collaborative team.
The Role
Reporting to a Senior Legal Counsel, you will:
• Advise on, draft, and negotiate a wide range of commercial contracts — from procurement through to customer-facing supply and outsourcing agreements
• Work on a significant stream of IT-related contracts within a rapidly evolving retail and technology landscape
• Support on broader legal matters including data privacy, third-party arrangements, and intra-group agreements
Why This Role?
This is an outstanding career development opportunity within a blue-chip organisation offering:
• Close support and mentoring from experienced lawyers
• Early responsibility and strong business exposure
• A friendly, collaborative, and relaxed team culture
• High levels of interaction with commercial teams and senior stakeholders
About You
You will be a confident NQ–2 PQE lawyer from a commercial background (private practice or in-house) who:
• Enjoys building relationships with business stakeholders
• Wants a genuinely commercial, business-facing role
• Is eager to grow within a supportive, high-quality legal team
