Are you a proactive, detail-oriented legal professional ready to make a real impact? Join TWD as a Legal Counsel and become a strategic partner in a dynamic, international environment. This is your opportunity to grow your career while shaping legal strategy and driving commercial success across diverse projects.

Why This Role Matters

As Legal Counsel at TWD, you’ll be more than an advisor—you’ll be a trusted voice in the business. You’ll guide teams through complex legal landscapes, influence decision-making at the highest level, and help build robust legal frameworks that support innovation and growth.

Strategic Legal Partner

  • Advise senior leadership and project teams on high-impact legal matters across contracts, partnerships, and international operations.

  • Translate complex legal frameworks into clear, actionable guidance that aligns with business goals.

  • Stay ahead of legal and regulatory developments—national and international—and advise the business accordingly.

Contract & Risk Management

  • Draft, review, and negotiate complex commercial contracts with clients, suppliers, and strategic partners.

  • Lead risk assessments and develop mitigation strategies for high-value or high-risk projects.

  • Ensure contracts reflect TWD’s risk appetite and strategic direction.

Project & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Support multidisciplinary teams throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring legal compliance and strategic alignment.

  • Join project kick-offs and key milestones to proactively address legal challenges.

  • Act as the go-to expert for resolving legal disputes during project execution.

Governance, Compliance & Quality

  • Oversee compliance with external regulations and client-specific requirements.

  • Contribute to data protection initiatives, AI Act readiness, and software licensing.

  • Enhance legal quality by refining processes, templates, and checklists.

What Makes You Great

You’re a practical, analytical thinker with a strong legal foundation and a passion for solving complex challenges. You thrive in fast-paced environments, take initiative, and collaborate with ease.

Skills and experience:

  • Master’s degree in Law and proven experience in commercial law.

  • Minimum 3 years of relevant experience (in-house or law firm).

  • Fluent in English; Dutch fluency is a strong advantage.

  • Solid expertise in commercial, compliance, and contract law—especially cross-border transactions.

  • Strong negotiation skills and a strategic mindset.

  • Excellent communication, organisation, and analytical abilities.

  • A proactive mindset and eagerness to grow.
