Legal Consultant (Healthcare) - French-qualified

KorumLegal is looking for an experienced commercial lawyer to join our panel of legal professionals for a full‑time contract assignment lasting at least 6 months. In this role, the Legal Consultant will act as a key legal advisor to a client operating in the medical devices and life sciences sector. This fully remote role reports to the Regional Legal Lead, with the flexibility for either full‑time or part‑time arrangements. The candidate may be based anywhere within the EU or Middle East, provided their working hours reasonably align with France to ensure effective collaboration with business teams. As this is an urgent engagement, candidates with immediate availability will be strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

The work is primarily centered on drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts, as well as providing comprehensive legal support to the marketing function. Because these activities frequently intersect with industry‑specific rules and promotional restrictions, experience within the medical, healthcare, or other highly regulated sectors is especially valuable. The role requires navigating complex compliance frameworks. In addition to this core commercial and compliance work, the role may also involve handling disputes or pre‑litigation matters.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will be France‑qualified, fluent in French, and professionally proficient in English, with the ability to work confidently with stakeholders across multiple regions. They should be particularly adept at partnering with demanding sales teams, managing pressure, and delivering timely, pragmatic advice in a fast‑paced commercial environment. A strong understanding of industry regulations, especially those applicable to the medical devices, healthcare, or broader life sciences sectors, is highly advantageous.
