Senior Legal Counsel (Russian-Speaking) – Generalist | Remote | Global Trading Firm

A fast-moving trading firm operating across global markets is hiring a Russian-speaking senior lawyer who can advise at pace, and act as a genuine legal partner — not just a reviewer.

The role
  • Full ownership of a broad and varied legal workload — spanning business expansion, transactional law, and a wide range of contract matters
  • Trusted legal voice across the business, reporting into different stakeholders depending on the project — including directly to the CEO on high-priority matters
  • Multi-jurisdictional remit with real ownership: you'll identify when external counsel is needed, engage them, and manage those relationships end-to-end
  • Advice that moves things forward — a genuine seat at the table, not a back-office function

What they're looking for
  • 5 years, in-house or at an international law firm
  • Multi-jurisdictional exposure across common law and civil law systems
  • Sharp on drafting, sharper on risk — without losing sight of commercial reality
  • Proactive, self-directed, and comfortable operating at pace
  • Advanced English required; Russian is a significant plus

Why this one
  • Fully remote with flexible hours and 40 days paid leave
  • Access to global offices on demand
  • Competitive salary with real room to grow
  • A high-autonomy role for a commercially-minded lawyer who wants international scope and the freedom to do their best work.
