Our client is a leading global private equity and investment firm, recognized for backing high‑growth, future‑defining businesses across multiple sectors. As part of their continued expansion in Europe, they are strengthening their legal function and seeking a high‑calibre Senior Legal Counsel to play a visible and influential role within their pan‑European data centre platform. This is an exceptional opportunity to join a sophisticated, mission‑critical infrastructure business at a pivotal moment of growth.
