Assistant General Counsel, Markel Group

* Serve as a go-to legal contact for a family of operating companies that function autonomously within a public-company framework.  You’ll need to balance autonomy and oversight – supporting entrepreneurial decision-making while ensuring public-company standards, SEC compliance, and ethical governance.
* Translate complex legal and regulatory concepts into actionable, plain-English advice for business leaders.
* Roll up your sleeves to address compliance, governance, and risk issues that resist easy categorization—and design and implement systems and frameworks to manage them.
* Manage sophisticated transactions, including M&A, restructurings, and joint ventures, from early structuring and due diligence through execution and integration.
* Advise on a wide range of corporate, regulatory and employment matters --including entity formation, governance, intercompany agreements, employment, compensation and incentive arrangements, complaints and investigations and new laws and regulations-- with precision and strategic insight.
* Bring a solutions-oriented mindset to the organization, offering insight, making things work better, and helping teams move forward—even when the work goes beyond pure legal analysis.
* Build scalable templates, playbooks, and systems that make the legal function smarter and faster.
* A J.D., an active law license and 8-10 years of solid legal experience (mix of firm and in-house preferred).
* Strong working knowledge of corporate law, employment, and compliance, and the technical skill to manage legal issues across complex corporate structures, including multi-entity and cross-border environments.
* Experience supporting a public company or advising public-company clients, ideally including exposure to SEC reporting, governance and disclosure matters.
* Demonstrated M&A expertise preferred.  If you’ve closed a deal or three and/or handled the integration that followed, you’ll hit the ground running. Likewise, experience with employment law matters is preferred.
* The ability to interpret financial information and connect it to legal risk and strategic decision-making.
* Comfort using modern legal tools and technology to streamline complexity.
* Curiosity, resilience, and sound judgment that thrives in a dynamic, evolving environment.
