Job Description

Posted on: August 30, 2025

Legal CounselHighly Successful Logistics Construction BusinessSouth East Midlands | Hybrid Working | Excellent Salary & Benefits

Are you a confident commercial lawyer looking to make a real impact in a dynamic, fast-paced business? We’re working with a market-leading logistics construction company with a £1bn+ turnover and a 600-strong workforce, in their search for a Legal Counsel to join their legal team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside the organisation’s experienced sole lawyer, gaining exposure to a broad range of B2B commercial contracts and helping to support the continued growth and innovation of the business.

The Role:

  • Reviewing, drafting, and negotiating a wide variety of commercial contracts with customers, suppliers, and partners.
  • Working closely with stakeholders across all areas of the business including sales, operations, procurement, and finance.
  • Advising on contractual risk and supporting commercial decision-making.
  • Helping to embed a strong legal and compliance culture across the business

About You:

  • A qualified UK lawyer with at least 2 years’ PQE, ideally with solid experience in commercial contracts and some knowledge of construction (though not essential).
  • In-house experience is welcome but not essential — more important is your ability to work autonomously, build relationships, and communicate effectively at all levels.
  • Commercially minded, pragmatic, and confident in your advice.

What’s on Offer:

  • A supportive and genuinely friendly working environment.
  • Competitive salary and strong benefits package.
  • Hybrid working with flexibility.
  • The chance to join a highly respected business that’s always evolving, with innovative products and a clear strategic vision.

If you’re looking for a role where you’ll be a valued part of a close-knit team in a collaborative business where your work will truly make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
