Legal Counsel
About this role
As Legal Counsel, you’ll be a key point of contact for the business across a broad range of legal areas, which may include commercial, marketing and advertising, brand, sustainability, supply chain, property and AI. This role will give you the opportunity to assist the Head of Legal and Senior Legal Counsel across these diverse practice areas - but there will also be the opportunity to support on matters outside of these areas.
The role is critical in helping the wider ASOS Legal Team meet the needs and requirements of all elements of ASOS’ business across the globe, requiring the ability to give commercial as well as legal advice, often on cross-border matters, and to promptly identify risks and issues that need to be escalated within the company. Prior experience in all of the above areas is not a requirement, but the role would suit someone who is hands-on and commercially minded, with a strong professional ethic, energy and interest to learn and pursue a broad array of commercial, legal and risk/reputation management matters.
Below are just some examples of the diverse work you will have the opportunity to work on: Marketing and Advertising Advising on advertising regulatory compliance, including ensuring marketing campaigns comply with ASA, CAP and consumer protection rules. Supporting the business on influencer and talent agreements, including reviewing terms around content usage, exclusivity and image rights. Advising on the use of AI in marketing and creative content, including AI-generated imagery.
Reviewing prize promotions, competitions and consumer-facing terms and conditions. Commercial Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts, including wholesale agreements, brand partnership agreements and supplier contracts. Supporting on marketplace arrangements and brand collaboration agreements with third-party brand partners. Supply chain and property Advising on supply chain contracts, including logistics and warehousing agreements, as well as property related matters.
Sustainability Advising on sustainability-related regulatory requirements, including environmental compliance, ESG reporting obligations and green claims. Team & Management We believe being together in person helps us move faster, connect more deeply, and achieve more as a team. That’s why our approach to working together includes spending at least 3 days a week in the office. It’s a rhythm that speeds up decision-making, helps ASOSers learn from each other more quickly, and builds the kind of culture where people can grow, create, and succeed.
