<div> </div>
<div>The Group Legal Counsel is a standalone senior role responsible for owning all legal matters across the group. This is a deliberately lean structure; one experienced operator, supported by leading AI-augmented legal tools, with the scope and autonomy to build the legal function in the way they believe it should be built. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This design reflects Re-Leased's view that a skilled in-house lawyer, paired with modern tools such as Claude and Spellbook, and backed by sound commercial judgement, can deliver the output that traditionally required a small team. The person stepping into this role should share that view; and want the opportunity that comes with it. </div>
