Corporate Lawyer ? Become Legal Counsel – Small Holding, 34 Days Off

We currently have the pleasure to assist a small holding company, part of a large international group, in its search for a Legal Counsel. With its main offices in one of Luxembourg’s neighboring countries, and a small team in Luxembourg, you will be fully integrated in the day-to-day operations of the group.

Indeed, the Luxembourg office is seen as an integral part of the main office, and team work is always at the Holding company’s core. With investments in a variety of sectors including Private Equity and Real Estate, the Holding has built an excellent stability and reputation for itself on a global scale.

Its team is currently represented by over 20 people in which the staff turn-over is very low, and the legal team has a strong background in Corporate law, acquired in law firms, prior to joining the Holding. Both members you will work most closely with have been a part of the team for many years and will therefore be happy to assist you in discovering the wide range of tasks.

Both of them appreciate the 360° legal view they have in their role, exposing them to corporate law, financial and banking law. Their role have allowed them to keep an intellectually stimulating position while benefiting from a healthy work/life balance and 34 days off.

Your Responsibilities | Legal Counsel – Holding – Lawyer – Corporate Law

• You will participate in the investment process by following up proxies, ensuring KYC requirements and other authorizations are legally respected and in order, and you liaise will all involved parties such as notaries and banks.
• You will work closely with another Senior Legal Counsel who has vast experience in Luxembourg, including within law firms, so they will happily share all of their acquired skills with you.
