Junior Legal Counsel

About the Role

As Junior Legal Counsel, you will be part of Dynavox Group's Legal function and work closely with the business on day-to-day legal matters in an international organization experiencing strong growth. The role includes independent responsibility for certain areas, while working in close collaboration with colleagues within the legal function.

You will support the business by providing pragmatic, risk-based legal advice, with a particular focus on commercial contracts and data protection.

The company develops and provides products and services for individuals with disabilities, meaning that legal matters often relate to privacy, information handling, and international business operations. The role is carried out in a dynamic and evolving environment with multiple internal and external stakeholders.

The role involves independent responsibility for recurring legal matters, while more complex or strategic issues are handled in dialogue with colleagues within the legal function. You are expected to gradually build your own area of responsibility and contribute to the development of the company's legal function.
