Legal Counsel

Do you want to play a vital role in protecting data while people are becoming healthier and happier?

As a Legal Counsel you will be a crucial part of a global data-driven company by advising and reducing legal complexity on GDPR and related areas while allowing innovation to happen in respect of compliance. You will build a modern legal department where boring manual tasks are eliminated in the advantage of automated processes giving you the time to deliver valuable insights to stakeholders on complex legal matters. For all of this, you will be working in our energetic HQ in Copenhagen where your professional dream will come true.

Who are we looking for? 

Responsibilities

• You will be the main person responsible for driving our efforts in relation to GDPR together with stakeholders across Lenus.
• Together with the team you will be responsible for identifying, assessing and advising on legal risk with a “less legal more people” mindset. One example is the upcoming EU regulation laying down harmonized rules on AI.
• Provide advice to various stakeholders within contracts, marketing practices, compliance, consumer legislation and much more depending on Lenus' needs and your interests!
• Together with the team you will be responsible for identifying and implementing the newest legal tech.

Qualifications

• You have either a Cand.merc.(jur.) or Cand.jur. - and have 2+ years of practical experience with GDPR.
• Experience from working within the area of IT law is a plus (IT contracts, digital platforms, IP rights etc.).
• As you will be working closely with commercial teams as well as the product- & tech teams, the ability to communicate complex issues to non-legal stakeholders is important.
• You enjoy having great autonomy and flexibility in your work life where you value the possibility to join a yoga class in the morning or a padel match in the afternoon.

We encourage you to apply even if you don't tick all the boxes.

The Team

You will be a valued member of our close-knit team consisting of our Head of Legal & Compliance, Jonathan, our US Legal Counsel, Tyler located in our New York office, and our two Legal student assistants, Kristine and Clara. Our team is driven by excellent cooperation and dynamic sparring. We take ownership of our projects, come up with new ideas and strive to deliver with the highest quality. Our team is trusted with a great amount of responsibility and we take pride in delivering straightforward solutions on complex legal matters. We trust each other to speak up if feeling stuck or if a new perspective is needed. We love to have ice cream at Ismageriet (next door to our office) when the sun finally shows up.
