As a Junior Legal Counsel at Weareone.World – the company behind Tomorrowland – you are part of the legal core of a leading international festival and entertainment organization.
Weareone.World organizes globally renowned festivals and events (including Tomorrowland Belgium, Brazil, Thailand, CORE, and Tomorrowland Winter in Alpe d’Huez) and also develops a broad ecosystem of entertainment activities, including a music label (Tomorrowland Music), radio station (One World Music), artist management & agency (One World Artists), DJ Academy, hospitality concepts, fashion, books and digital projects.
You will join a dynamic and creative environment where ambition, innovation and professionalism are central.
Your role
As a Junior Legal Counsel, you are part of the Legal Team and work under the direct supervision of a Senior Legal Counsel, who also acts as your mentor.
The focus of this role is on preparatory legal work within festival and event (F&E) contracting. You always work based on clear briefings and instructions, and submit your work for thorough substantive review. You process feedback into a final workable document.
At this stage, you do not have structural direct contact with the business, but you support the Senior Legal Counsel, who acts as the central point of contact.
This way of working is part of a training trajectory, in which you develop your legal expertise and business insight through feedback, iteration and practical experience.
The evolution towards more autonomy and possibly direct contact with stakeholders will be determined in consultation, depending on your development and the needs of the Legal team.
In addition, you will temporarily take on a role in contract management, pending the start of a paralegal function.
