KPMG International and the International Office of General Counsel

This is an outstanding opportunity to join an expanding legal team of high caliber in a global organization. We expect this opportunity will allow you to broaden your range of legal skills and experience and to make a deep impact on the business.

KPMG International Limited (KPMG International) is the entity with which all member firms of the KPMG global organization are affiliated. KPMG International and its related entities (KPMGI) carry on business activities for the overall benefit of the KPMG global organization, but do not themselves provide professional services to clients. One of the main purposes of KPMGI is to facilitate the provision by member firms of quality Audit, Tax and Advisory services to their clients, including through the use of technology.

The International Office of the General Counsel (IOGC) is a growing and high-performing in- house legal team with personnel based in five countries. The team provides legal advice and support to KPMGI’s senior leadership and the various groups that support them. This includes advice and support in connection with critical strategic projects, and key brand and legal risks that have the potential to significantly impact the KPMG global organization. IOGC is also regularly consulted on legal issues relating to member firms that may have a significant impact on the KPMG global organization. IOGC does not, however, provide member firms with legal advice.
