Overview
Group Legal Counsel Jobs in United Kingdom at Trust In SODA
Title: Group Legal Counsel
Company: Trust In SODA
Location: United Kingdom
The Role
We’re looking for a Group Legal Counsel to help us secure, structure, and scale our legal operations across nine dynamic companies. This is a unique opportunity for a legal professional with around 10 years of experience to work at group level in an entrepreneurial, international environment.
You’ll report directly to the Finance Director, supporting corporate governance, contract negotiation, regulatory compliance, and strategic legal matters across multiple jurisdictions. While you’ll initially work independently, you’ll have access to top-tier external legal support and the opportunity to shape internal legal processes as we grow.
This isn’t a role for someone who defaults to “no.” We’re looking for someone who protects the group but enables bold moves—someone who can secure what matters while helping the business move forward with confidence.
Key responsibilities
Act as the group’s main legal point of contact across all operational and service companies
Ensure compliance with English law (mandatory) and support legal matters across EU jurisdictions
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts, SaaS agreements, partnership terms, IP licenses, NDAs, and more
Supports corporate structuring, governance, board documentation, and legal housekeeping
Collaborate on cross-border employment and contractor frameworks
Partner with leadership to identify legal risks and build scalable legal processes
Liaise with external legal counsel when country-specific input is required
Provide input on international projects, M&A, and regulatory issues as they arise
Help implement internal templates, legal workflows, and compliance tools
Additional support areas
Depending on your profile and evolving business needs, you may also contribute to:
Data protection compliance (e.g., GDPR, DPA)
Intellectual property and brand protection
Company Secretary duties and board governance support
Regulatory matters related to fintech, platform terms, or loyalty models
Legal input for digital, token-based, or e-commerce initiatives
What you bring
Qualified lawyer with around 10 years of experience, ideally combining law firm and in-house roles
Deep knowledge of English law and working familiarity with EU corporate law
Skilled in contract drafting, negotiation, and cross-border matters
A practical, solution-focused mindset with strong commercial awareness
Ability to work autonomously, manage priorities, and thrive in a fast-paced environment
Fluent English (spoken and written); Arabic or other languages are a plus
A collaborative approach and the confidence to work with senior stakeholders
Experience in high-growth, founder-led, or multi-entity environments is a bonus
What’s in it for you
We offer more than a job—we offer impact, flexibility, and the chance to help shape how we grow.
Remote-first: Work from anywhere in Europe, with flexibility to manage your own schedule
Global reach: Support a network of companies with presence in the UK, Luxembourg, EU, and beyond
Ownership: Lead legal matters end-to-end and influence how the legal function evolves
Collaboration: Work directly with leadership and across finance, HR, product, and operations
Start-up pace, real impact: We move fast, and your advice will directly shape decisions
