We are working with a commercially driven organisation operating at the heart of the UK's transport and logistics network, supporting the movement of goods, passengers and services. This business spans ferry operations, cargo logistics, cruise services, property and large-scale development projects, creating a broad and dynamic legal landscape. They are now seeking a Legal Advisor to join their in-house legal team on a 6–9 month fixed-term contract, offering an excellent opportunity for a lawyer looking to gain broad, hands-on commercial experience in a complex, operational environment. The role is to start ASAP and will require two days per week in their offices in Kent. Reporting directly to the Head of Legal, you will provide pragmatic and commercially focused legal advice across multiple business units. The role offers significant variety and stakeholder exposure, with the legal team playing a key role in protecting the business, influencing decision-making and driving best practice. This is a highly collaborative role, suited to someone who enjoys being embedded in the business rather than operating in a purely advisory capacity.
