Legal Counsel / In-house Counsel with Focus on Labor Law

DON’T JUST WORK. WORK WITH US. Work where real values are not only measured in numbers. We, the Marc O'Polo Legal Department, are a small, well-coordinated team of currently four members who appreciate and support each other. As a central interface, we have contact with all specialist departments and experience the "Fashion Journey" daily in an internationally operating company. We laugh a lot because we believe that good cheer enriches everyday work. Regular team meetings and one-to-ones are as much a part of our collaboration as the open exchange of ideas and perspectives. Shared lunch breaks in the BISTR'O and coffee breaks are a fixed part of our daily routine. Team spirit is our focus: we are true team players and pull together.
