Paris, France Found Legal Temps plein

Hi there 👋 this is Mila Read from Found Legal, a niche recruitment agency where we specialise in hiring in-house technology lawyers across Europe and the UK.

My client is a well-known global Technology company looking to hire a Senior Legal Counsel in Paris.

We are looking for someone who is:

  • Fluent in both English and French (if you speak other languages, this would be an advantage)
  • Has around 7-9 years of experience as a commercial lawyer in the Tech sector
  • Has ideally worked in a law firm even if just for a year
  • Would like to build their career in a reputable and ethical Tech company

— Company & Culture

A well known Tech company with people centric culture. Fantastic atmosphere, great colleagues and great manager. Lots of room to grow and learn, a great name for your CV.

As one of world’s best companies to work for, the business has a supportive and collaborative culture. 92% of employees are proud to tell others they work here. There is a strong focus around integrity and respect for the individual. You will feel trusted, respected, empowered and well looked after.

 

— Legal Team

This legal team is known for its collegiality. People are friendly and helpful, there is great camaraderie at all levels. Legal innovation and legal operations are high on the agenda.

— Development

I’ve been working with the team for 8 years. Everyone has been promoted, the team members are thriving and always developing. 

You will:

+ have transparency about your progression

+ together with your manager create your personal development plan

+ get a personal mentor, someone who will support and guide you on your journey

+ every 2 weeks learn from subject matter experts (e.g. on IT, IP, competition, Privacy - you name it)

+ be part of monthly European “best practice” sessions, regular EMEA legal get-togethers + global training

+ have a lot of fun while learning with colleagues - they love their time together

+ select courses of your choice paid by the company (e.g. legal, soft skills or languages…)

+ receive leadership training

+ coach and mentor 2 junior legal team members

+ grow in your career

— Balance

Excellent work-life balance and flexibility. Great new office in the Centre of Paris. Can be in the office 1-2 time a week (or more if you prefer), the rest from home. Flexibility around spending time away from Paris.

— Package

Very good salary and package for a lawyer with approx. 7-9 years of experience, world level benefits.

— Role

The role is part of the EMEA team, so is international.

It is also essentially a Legal Lead for France — you will be part of the Leadership team in France.

Essentially it is a commercial lawyer role with some generalist work. You can also specialise in other legal areas that are of interest to you: the team values subject matter experts.

— Responsibilities

  • Strategic role as part of the Leadership Team + working closely with the sales teams
  • Drafting and negotiating agreements (eg. sales agreements, pricing letters, non-disclosure agreements, software licensing cloud agreements, software-as-a-service agreements, IP and DP agreements and services agreements) in line with the company's business strategy, policies and practices
  • Responding to RFP/RFI/RFQs
  • Helping structure sales transactions/agreements following legal risk assessment 
  • Consistently applying the company's legal and business policies and practices to maintain the highest standards of corporate governance
  • Engaging in cross-functional projects as a legal subject-matter expert 
  • Developing and delivering legal training
  • Coaching 2 junior legal team members

— Requirements

  • A commercial Tech lawyer fluent in both French and English (negotiations and contract drafting level)
  • Ideally with some experience at a law firm or a large Tech company
  • You can come from a law firm or already have experience in-house
  • Eligible to work in France () and based in Paris (or relocating to Paris).
