We are the global leader in the production and distribution of wood products used in everything from furniture and flooring to timber-framed houses, building facades and construction. In doing so, we help to build a better world. Kronospan is focused on achieving operational excellence with relentless attention to safety and sustainability.

To support our global operations, we are looking for an ambitious and committed General Counsel for a predominately commercial role, but you will have oversight of litigation claims, competition law and other legal issues affecting our European operation.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

Structure, negotiate and draft strategic commercial agreements including customer, supplier and distributor contracts.
Provide clear direction and strategic know-how to our European leadership team on commercial matters.
Manage disputes and litigation to achieve a practical and cost-effective result.
Advise on legal risk and ethical compliance in Europe including anti-corruption laws, EUDR and Code of Conduct.
Oversee Mergers and Acquisitions.
Monitor legal changes within the industry and implement any necessary changes or challenge any prospective changes that may impact the organisation's operations.
Providing support to internal and external audit.
Oversee the hiring of internal legal staff, leading the team by example.

Requirements:

You will be a qualified Solicitor with at least 8 years PQE, some of which will have been in a General Counsel or Deputy GC role.
You will have excelled academically when achieving your law qualifications.
Demonstrated experience in European corporate and commercial law.
1st class English is essential and additional language skills are also desirable.
Ideally, you will be experienced in the manufacturing sector.
Operating from a local manufacturing site, you will need to be prepared for significant travel.

What We Offer

As a highly successful global industrial organisation with strong growth plans, career development opportunities are excellent and a move to a broader role will not be an obstacle to the right candidate.

We are committed to rewarding achievement with an attractive performance-based salary package. The role provides the ideal opportunity for a career with a very successful business that achieves outstanding results.
