Robert Half
Talent Solutions is currently looking for a
Legal Counsel for a permanent position based in Kortrijk.

Our client is a fast growing company active in the
IT Consulting sector.

As
Legal Counsel you will be
responsible for:

You will mainly focus on improving our collaboration with the business. You'll create or further optimize our contract templates and carry out thorough legal reviews and negotiating of a broad range of contracts;
You will manage customer and supplier legal risks, as well as consistently anticipate, analyze and propose mitigation strategies for potential risks;
You will provide legal advice to the business on a broad range of legal topics and handle legal complaints;
Corporate governance is on your todo list as well: you'll be involved in partner matters by supporting the corporate governance in Belgium and Luxembourg;
We want to be more closely involved in contract discussions, so you'll act as a sparring partner who regularly aligns with colleagues and thinks of new ways to streamline our team's activities, including informing your colleagues about legal developments.
To be able to work in harmony with the nonlegal departments, you won't be afraid to pick up the phone and defend our viewpoints in a clear and concise manner;
Depending on your personal interests, you can also take a deep dive into other topics, like corporate law, GDPR or optimization projects such as the implementation of legal tech solutions.

The required
profile for the
Legal Counsel position:

Do you have a Master of Laws degree? We're looking for someone with at least 3 years of experience as an in-house counsel or in a law firm. Any legal experience in the IT sector or an additional training in business or economic law is a plus;
Is B2B commercial law your passion? And are you familiar with the ins and outs of the business world?
A special interest or specialization in IP/IT law, GDPR and corporate law is highly valued as well;
As our legal department faces many challenges, there is plenty of room for initiative. Do you take ownership of your work and set the right priorities?
If you're hoping for a clearly defined assignment this won't be it. You'll have to take a proactive, problemsolving approach within the team and work autonomously to deal with certain tasks;
Can you express yourself fluently in English and Dutch, both written and verbally? It's a bonus if you speak French too;
In a nutshell: Are you a legal team player with a healthy dose of common sense, enthusiasm and flexibility? Are you passionate about contract law? Will you uphold high standards of accuracy in your legal work, whilst demonstrating the necessary pragmatism? Do you feel comfortable taking the initiative? Then you'll fit right in
