Job Description

Find where you belong!

What if you could elevate your legal career by joining a dynamic team where your expertise is not just valued, but essential in shaping the future of the growth and success of a business and corporate strategies?



We are looking for an enthusiastic lawyer to join our growing Legal team. This is a great opportunity for someone who is seeking a new challenge and looking to join a company which is an established household name but also ambitious and at an exciting time in its development.

This is a 12 month Maternity Cover contract.

What's it all about?

As our Legal Counsel, you will provide legal support across the business, assess risks and effectively communicate with internal and external stakeholders. You will provide legal support to departments across the business, including Procurement, IT, Marketing, People, Sales and Operations, particularly in respect of contractual matters. This will include managing the legal process across a broad variety of business initiatives and reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements.



You will get to work cross-functionally on larger projects as well as working independently on smaller and/ or strategic matters.

Why Travelodge?

We believe in creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can be their true self and belong. We work hard to improve the diversity of our teams and celebrate our differences. And we care about our colleagues' wellbeing, so we ensure there are plenty of resources available so everyone can look after their emotional, physical, financial and work wellbeing. We call this "Better Me".

Who will this appeal to?

You will be 2+ years' PQE with a corporate or commercial law background, gained at either a good private practice or in-house. You will have experience of working with high value contracts and complex matters and be able to deal with a range of largely but not exclusively contractual projects.



You will have the ability to make commercial decisions rather than simply advise on legal risks and have a willingness to advise practically on contract disputes and interpretation.
