Senior Legal Counsel

We need a full-time, in-house lawyer. 

Sounds like the beginning of an exciting story. Is it yours? 

No, we’re not in trouble (promise), and we don’t plan to be either (double promise). 

But the life of an agency that provides all sorts of digital and creative wizardry is usually full of wonder and… legal questions.
