Legal Counsel / Advisor

Do you find satisfaction in making a difference and seeing the results of your work? Then this is your chance to join an energy trading company where the legal function is an essential cornerstone of the company’s overall success.

We have received a lot of applications and are currently reviewing them all. For now, we are no longer accepting new applications. However, if we don't find the right match, the job posting may be reopened.

NET is a global energy trading company active in gas and power markets. We're also leading the integration of renewable energy sources like wind and solar to shape the future of energy. Through advanced expertise and strategic involvement, we play a key role in projects such as Power-to-X, working on sustainable energy solutions for tomorrow's world.

What You'll Be Doing

The legal function at NET handles a wide range of matters, including:

  • Negotiating and amending international standard contracts
  • Drafting bespoke contracts such as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
  • Managing contracts and handling corporate affairs
  • Addressing compliance issues and regulatory affairs in partnership with our compliance team
  • Supporting GDPR compliance, legal claims, and conflict resolution
  • Acting as secretary for the company's owners and board
  • Providing strategic insights on market entry, product development, and internal change initiatives
  • Developing automation and AI solutions for improved legal processes

You'll also work closely with our market management and compliance teams, offering essential legal insights.

Your Role and Responsibilities

Our legal function supports all areas of our business. You'll play an integral role in this holistic approach, gaining insight into the energy market — how it works, and how legal advice shapes technical and business decisions.

You'll help position the legal function as a key player in both internal and external matters. Depending on your qualifications, experience, and interests, you'll also collaborate closely with our market management and compliance teams, addressing issues that require legal insight.

Beyond your legal tasks, you'll contribute to our company culture by:

  • Supporting colleagues and other departments
  • Challenging yourself and your teammates to achieve excellence
  • Providing honest feedback to help us improve every day

From day one, you'll take ownership of your tasks, have real responsibilities, and engage directly with colleagues across the company. We believe in professionalism and trust you to find your own place — and thrive — within our team.

Excellent lawyers aren't just legal experts — they listen, collaborate, and embrace change. At NET, we value curiosity, humility, and teamwork as much as expertise.

Chief Legal Officer

What We're Looking For

We're looking for your kind of excellence because we know talent comes in many forms. Your background — whether in law, law & economics, or something similar — matters less than your drive, curiosity, and how well you fit within our team.

Our ideal candidate

  • Is a team player who can see the bigger picture
  • Approaches tasks with passion, dedication, and joy
  • Has strong communication skills and empathy
  • Takes initiative, pushing for solutions instead of just identifying problems
  • Can step outside their comfort zone and contribute beyond traditional legal roles
  • Isn't afraid to make mistakes — but learns and grows from them
  • Ideally speaks a Nordic language and is confident in using multiple languages
  • Has international experience through work, studies, or living abroad
