Hamburg, Deutschland Shell Vollzeit

**The Role**:
If you are a strategic thinker with substantial experience managing and resolving complex disputes, then this could be your chance to leverage business insights and dispute resolution skills to enable Shell’s strategy and purpose.

**About Shell in Germany**

Shell has been represented in Germany since 1902. Today, around 4825 employees from Shell Germany and Shell subsidiary companies in Germany ensure that more than 1 million drivers can refuel their vehicles at a Shell station in Germany every day, airlines are supplied with air fuels, shipping companies with ship lubricants and industrial customers with petrochemicals or natural gas. The business is grouped together as Deutsche Shell Holding GmbH, based in Hamburg.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges and threats to humanity. Societies worldwide and in Germany want to protect the climate and at the same time develop their prosperity. In order to achieve the common goal of a viable, i.e. sustainable and affordable net zero-emission society, the energy industry and energy users alike are facing profound change. This is both a challenge and an opportunity. As a large energy company in Germany, we want to successfully shape and drive change with and for the people and thus help to achieve the common goals.

**Where you fit in**

As Legal Counsel in the Global Litigation - Europe, Africa, and Asia organisation, located in Hamburg, you will report to the Managing Counsel, EMENA - the Netherlands and Germany. You will be a key member of a small and supportive team in Hamburg accountable for managing disputes in litigation, arbitration, and other dispute resolution methods, as well as handling regulatory challenges for Shell Group companies in the DACH region and in the wider Europe Middle East and North Africa (EMENA) region.

Together with a senior colleague, you will be the primary focal point for litigation in the DACH region. Matters cover an extraordinary range of highly specialized, complex cases of significant strategic, financial, and reputational importance to Shell businesses, including commercial disputes with counterparties and JV partners, state, and investor disputes, as well as NGO-driven disputes, climate change and human rights.

The role has a particular focus on matters arising under German law but given the breadth of the geographic region which the team supports, you will also handle disputes arising under other legal systems. You must therefore have excellent legal and strategic judgement coupled with strong business partnering, communication and stakeholder management skills. You must collaborate with senior stakeholders across multiple business and organizational lines to handle matters to further business objectives and protect shareholder interests.

**What’s the role?**

As Legal Counsel you will provide proactive guidance to the businesses supported, seek out and propose appropriate solutions to disputes and litigation and co-ordinate input from multiple business, legal and other functional stakeholders to deliver business strategy. More specifically your role will include:

- Identifying critical legal issues and strategic business options based on complex and ambiguous data
- Providing strategic advice on litigation and arbitration procedure and tactics
- Collaborating with and influencing senior internal and external stakeholders with diverse cultural backgrounds
- Drawing the attention of management to legal implications of rulings, decisions, and case resolutions in a proactive, timely and effective manner
- Ensuring significant litigation risks are reported within the Group Control framework, including maintaining matters on the Group-wide matter management database and recommending legal contingencies and provisioning relating to litigation matters
- Engaging and managing external counsel, including the negotiation and execution of non-hours based alternative fee arrangements (AFAs)
- Driving and promoting Shell’s international arbitration network and developing Shell or industry positions on significant legal issues
- Monitoring and highlighting significant legal developments in the DACH region
- Espousing Shell’s Business Principles and being committed to continuous improvement
- Adopting a learner mindset to maximise our performance, live our values, grow trust in Shell, inspire and engage
- Seeking challenge and setting stretch targets for own performance, and supporting and developing less experienced lawyers and support staff
- Encouraging and contributing to a team culture of strong performance, collaboration, and an enterprise first mentality.

**What we need from you?**

To enable Shell’s strategy by resolving complex disputes you will require substantial prior experience managing high-value oil & gas disputes, including drafting pleadings (desirable). Furthermore, you will have:

- A qualification as a lawyer in Germany and litigation experience in private practice or in-house (e
