Interim General Counsel

Interim General Counsel / Corporate Restructuring Lawyer (3–6 months)

I'm working with an acquisitive, founder-led, international digital education business seeking an experienced interim lawyer to lead a significant corporate restructuring project.

This is a hands-on, strategic assignment working directly with the CEO and senior leadership team.

The successful candidate will lead the legal workstream for a proposed international group reorganisation, coordinating external advisers across multiple jurisdictions and driving the execution of a complex cross-border corporate project.

We're looking for someone who has experience of:

• Cross-border corporate restructurings

• Holding company reorganisations

• Share-for-share exchanges and group simplifications

• Corporate/M&A transactions

• Working alongside tax advisers, lenders and external counsel

• Advising founders, CEOs and boards on strategic corporate projects

This is not a tax advisory role. We're looking for someone who can provide commercial judgement, lead the legal workstream and manage the overall execution of the project.

Ideally you'll have:

• Senior in-house GC or Head of Legal experience
• Strong corporate/M&A background
• Experience in fast-growth, PE-backed or international businesses
• Excellent stakeholder management skills
• Ability to operate autonomously with founders and senior executives

Practicalities

• Immediate start preferred
• Interim / fractional (flexibility depending on availability)
• London-based with hybrid working
• Competitive day rate
