Legal Specialist – Build, Shape & Grow an In-House Legal Function

Exciting, clear and rewarding career progression
Play a key role in supporting the continued growth and future success of an established entity
Unique opportunity to help build and shape an in-house legal function from the ground up

This Legal Specialist opportunity is with a rapidly expanding entity with a strong local & international presence, offering you the chance to join at a defining stage of its expansion. The company is investing in its legal function, giving you the opportunity to become a key legal professional while helping build the structure, processes and support needed for its next stage of growth. You will gain broad exposure to Group-wide initiatives and valuable hands-on experience across a wide range of corporate and commercial matters.

Reporting directly to the Senior Lawyer as the Group’s first legal hire, you will take on significant responsibility from day one. Rather than joining an established legal department, you will help build one, working closely with the Senior Lawyer, internal stakeholders and external advisers. As the function grows, you will have a clear opportunity to develop into a more senior legal professional while helping shape the Group’s legal framework.

As the Group’s legal function develops, you will help establish its structure while gaining practical experience across corporate and commercial matters, legal projects, processes and systems. You will also gain exposure to innovative legal technology and AI-enabled solutions, building skills that are increasingly important in modern in-house legal teams. The role is designed to give you the responsibility, knowledge and experience to grow with the business and take on greater responsibility as the legal function evolves.

You will:

Assist the Senior Lawyer with corporate and commercial matters
Liaise closely with internal stakeholders and external advisers
Lead legal projects and matters through to successful completion
Play an active part in establishing and embedding the Group’s legal function
Help design and enhance legal processes, systems and operational frameworks
Explore and support the adoption of innovative legal technology and AI solutions

Skills / Experience:

Warranted Lawyer in Malta (Maltese Qualified Lawyer)
2+ years of post-qualification experience
Proven experience in commercial contracts, together with solid practical knowledge of corporate and commercial law.

Salary / Remuneration: €40,000 – €50,000, depending on experience, plus parking and an excellent benefits package.
