Due to the recent acquisition by AkzoNobel of the ICI group, a fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced legal adviser to join the legal team supporting the Decorative Paints businesses in the UK and Europe.

The successful candidate will be an experienced lawyer with the following skills:
Qualified lawyer in the UK or major European jurisdiction;
Excellent commercial legal knowledge, and some experience of competition law applied in a commercial setting;
Strong drafting skills;
Ability to identify risk, advise on consequences and minimise exposure;
Enthusiastic self-starter with the ability to manage a truly diverse work-load autonomously;
Ability to identify key issues and drive for their resolution in a solution orientated way;
Ability to work under pressure and to prioritise conflicting deadlines whilst maintaining a positive approach;
A strong communicator with confidence in your ability;
Flexibility to travel, particularly in Europe.
AkzoNobel has recently acquired ICI to create the world's largest coatings manufacturer.

With a portfolio of world renowned brands, such as Dulux, AkzoNobel products can be found everywhere from the Beijing Olympic arenas and Sydney Harbour Bridge to, quite possibly, the house next door to you.
