Key Qualifications</b><b>:</b></p><ul><li><p>
Crowe&rsquo;s Legal Department is a critical component of Crowe's organizational structure. The Senior Counsel focused on transactions will support the General Counsel and other Crowe personnel by solving problems creatively and pragmatically to manage legal risk. Crowe&rsquo;s Legal Department seeks commercially acceptable ways to get to &ldquo;yes&rdquo; more often than &ldquo;no.&rdquo; To perform this function, the Senior Counsel must learn general firm practice in a wide variety of areas, proactively identify issues presenting risk to the firm, and act as a driver of good business process. A successful candidate will have excellent communication and relationship-building capabilities that are combined with strategic and commercial awareness.</p></li><li><p>
Candidates must have proven experience negotiating complex and technical contracts in professional services or technology settings and a strong ability to provide accurate, practical, and timely counsel to internal and external clients. Candidates should also demonstrate a commitment to continued learning and adapting legal and regulatory expertise.</p></li><li><p>
The Legal Department manages a large volume of requests, and candidates must have the ability to fluidly manage workload in accordance with business objectives and shifting internal client priorities.</p></li><li><p>
Must possess superb negotiation skills, organizational skills, business judgment, strategic thinking, and excellent writing and verbal communication skills are essential.</p></li><li><p>
Must have the ability to lead and be unafraid of &ldquo;rolling up their sleeves&rdquo; to take on tasks as needed.</p></li><li><p>
Enthusiasm for learning new technology and a strong knowledge of Microsoft Office are required.</p></li><li><p>
Familiarity with contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools and artificial intelligence tools for contract review and workflow efficiency is a plus.</p></li><li><p>
As a member of a smaller department, our attorneys are expected to work on a variety of legal matters outside of their central role.

Must have a JD and be a member of a U.S. state bar in good standing.</p></li><li><p>
Must have at least five (5) years of relevant experience in a law firm, government agency, or in-house counsel role.</p></li><li><p>
Experience in the accounting services industry or professional services industry is a plus, but not required.</p></li><li><p>
Preference for candidates in the Oak Brook/Chicago area and admitted to the Illinois bar. However, remote work, with bar admission in their state of residence, is an option for the right candidate.</p></li></ul><p></p><p>
#LI-SAW</p><p></p><p>
We expect the candidate to uphold Crowe&rsquo;s values of Care, Trust, Courage, and Stewardship. These values define who we are. We expect all of our people to act ethically and with integrity at all times.</p><p></p><p>
