Contract Opportunity - x2 Senior Legal Counsel (Corporate Reorganisation)
£500-£650/day PAYE | Hybrid (Berkshire, up to 3 days/week) | FTSE 100 | Immediate Start Preferred
A global FTSE 15 FMCG company is undergoing a major carve-out and corporate restructuring programme, and is looking for a mid-level corporate lawyer (4-8 PQE) to take ownership of complex legal work streams across multiple jurisdictions.
This isn't M&A - the deals are done by another team. This role is about executing the legal separation, including business and asset transfers, demergers, statutory mergers, and share reorganisations, supported by top-tier external counsel.
You'll be handed a few jurisdictions (e.g. Netherlands, France, Spain) and expected to manage them through to go-live - handling documentation, guiding local legal process, and collaborating closely with CoSec, Tax and Finance.
What you'll need to succeed:
UK-qualified (or equivalent), 4-8 years' PQE (other PQE will be considered but this is a guide to the level of work that will be carried out on a daily basis)
100% Essential: Proven experience with business transfers, intra-group restructures, demergers, share reorganisations
Confidence drafting or managing PoAs, shareholder resolutions, dividend/distribution documentation
Background in a large or complex multinational business
Able to start within 4 weeks or less (ideally immediately)
Happy with a hybrid model (up to 3 days in Berkshire, Elizabeth Line accessible)
If you've worked on carve-outs, legal entity reorganisations or post-acquisition integration's, and you're looking for a high-impact contract role with global scope - I'd love to hear from you.
