Interim Regional General Counsel (EMEA) | 6-Month Contract
An international market-leading manufacturer operating across multiple industrial sectors is seeking an experienced interim Regional General Counsel to provide legal leadership across Europe.

This is a senior legal role supporting commercial operations across EMEA, acting as a key strategic adviser to the business on a broad range of legal and regulatory matters.
The Role
- Lead legal support across Europe, partnering with senior business stakeholders on strategic and day-to-day matters.
- Advise on complex commercial agreements, distribution arrangements, procurement contracts and customer negotiations.
- Provide practical guidance on regulatory and compliance issues, identifying risks and delivering commercially focused solutions.
- Support cross-border operations, including matters relating to subsidiary management and movement of goods across multiple jurisdictions.
- Work closely with an established international legal team, with potential oversight of other lawyers within the region depending on business needs.
- Operate in a lean, highly collaborative legal function.
