Legal M&A Counsel

At Sandvik Machining Solutions (SMS), we have an exciting portfolio that holds some of the strongest brands in the market, and as a leading supplier in the global cutting tool industry, we are proud to serve our customers with products and solutions for optimized productivity and profitability.
We’re now looking for a business-minded, experienced, and confident Legal M&A Counsel to strengthen our team as we further accelerate our M&A agenda. This is a versatile position where you work in an international setting and support the management in different areas of the business. An excellent opportunity for someone at senior level who wants to refine their skills!

About the team
With an overall business strategy that aims for continuous development – both organically and through corporate acquisitions – our legal function plays a key role. We support the business in achieving objectives and driving growth by providing pragmatic legal advice and proactively assessing and mitigating risks. This requires accuracy, strong integrity, and solid business understanding, as well as proficiency across many legal and compliance disciplines.  

About the job
In this position, you will have the opportunity to practice your dedication to corporate and commercial law as you contribute to strategic transactions, investments, joint ventures, and various projects. You report directly to the Head of Legal M&A and take responsibility and ambitiously drive your own assignments, and you challenge us to view things from a different perspective and to discuss alternative solutions.
This role is based in Stockholm and may involve occasional international travel.

Your background and character
We’re looking for someone with a Swedish Law degree (Jur. Kand) or an equivalent international law degree and several years’ experience of legal M&A work from a reputable business law firm. Additional experience within a corporate in-house legal organization is advantageous. You have the legal experience needed to act independently and to find legally adequate solutions to various situations. You are a seasoned project manager and have exposure to competition law. As we act in a global setting, you need excellent communication skills in English, both verbally and in writing.
Key for this role is your ability to gain trust both by building long-term personal relationships and by offering advice and guidance based on legal experience, sound judgment and a thorough business understanding. Accordingly, we place great value on your personal qualities, characterized by your practical, analytical and decisive mindset. You are also a true team player with a strong drive to get things done.
