We are seeking an experienced Senior Legal Counsel to join a globally integrated office of general counsel supporting the firm's North American offices, with close collaboration across international colleagues and U.S.-based teams.

The role focuses on corporate transactional matters — drafting, reviewing and negotiating client and vendor commercial contracts and leases — alongside broader responsibilities spanning compliance initiatives, corporate governance, third-party due diligence, data privacy coordination and policy development. You will also support global expansion initiatives, including mergers and acquisitions, new office openings and joint ventures.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced position suited to a commercially minded lawyer who can balance strategic priorities with tactical operational detail and works well across cultures and time zones.

  • Law degree and active license to practice law
  • 6–10 years of experience with high-volume international commercial contracts (drafting, reviewing and negotiating) and transactional M&A
  • Experience at a large or mid-sized law firm with a substantial global practice; in-house experience advantageous
  • Familiarity with laws and regulations relevant to client onboarding
  • Excellent time management, attention to detail and relationship management skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to adapt style to the audience
