Role
LHH is partnering with a well-established, international organisation to recruit a Legal Counsel into its in-house legal team on a 12 month fixed-term basis. The role is based in Oxfordshire and requires 2 days per week in-office.
This is a broad and commercially focused position, offering the opportunity to work closely with senior stakeholders across Marketing, Digital, Technology, Procurement and other commercial functions.
The successful candidate will take ownership of a varied workload spanning commercial contracts, marketing and advertising, digital initiatives, intellectual property and technology. It would suit a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys being close to the business, finding pragmatic solutions and working across a wide range of matters rather than operating within a narrow specialism.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
