Senior Legal Counsel Employment Law
Senior Legal Counsel - Employment Law
The Opportunity
If you advise on employment law but rarely get to shape how a business actually treats its people, this role puts you at the centre of those decisions.
You'll own employment law across the Nordics, with direct access to HR leadership and senior management. You won't be reviewing decisions after they've been made. You'll set the direction on restructurings, union relations and people policy, then see it through.
If you're in private practice, this is the chance to move from advising from the outside to owning the outcome. If you're already in-house, it's a step up to broader Nordic scope and a genuinely senior advisory seat.
The Role
You'll be the go-to employment law expert for HR, line managers and the leadership team. Day to day, you will:
Give practical, commercial advice across the full range of Nordic employment law matters
Lead restructurings, reorganisations and redundancy processes, including consultation obligations
Manage relations and negotiations with trade unions, including collective bargaining agreements
Draft and maintain employment contracts, policies and internal guidelines
Handle employment disputes, bringing in external counsel where needed
Track legislative change and keep the organisation compliant
Train HR and managers so they can handle more issues confidently themselves
You'll have real ownership over how employment practices are shaped across the organisation, which means your advice becomes policy, not just a memo on file.
What You'll Need
At least five years' employment law experience, gained in a law firm, in-house, or both
Solid working knowledge of Swedish labour law, including LAS, MBL and collective agreements
Hands-on experience of restructurings and union negotiations
Fluent Swedish and strong professional English, written and spoken
