You’re the Missing Piece Between Legal and Legendary!

Are you a sharp legal professional with a knack for contracts, compliance, and commercial strategy? We’re hiring a Corporate Legal Counsel to join a high-performing legal team at a global, multibillion-dollar company in the energy sector. You’ll work directly with senior legal and business leadership, advising on everything from U.S. sanctions to intellectual property. If you're collaborative, commercially savvy, and want a seat at the table—this is it! Apply now to take your legal career to the next level—with a team that values strategic thinking, integrity, and actual work-life balance.

• Advise internal teams on legal risks, contract interpretation, and compliance with U.S. laws and regulations (including sanctions and trade rules)
• Manage commercial litigation and receivables-related disputes
• Support the protection and expansion of the company’s IP and patent portfolio
• Assist with M&A activity, corporate governance, and internal policy development

• Strong understanding of compliance issues, especially U.S. sanctions and trade regulations
• Skilled in legal negotiation with a commercial mindset
