Ubisoft’s Legal Department is organized around dedicated legal counsels for each business area, working hand in hand with every team across the company. As Senior Legal Counsel, you will be the dedicated day-to-day legal partner for Creative House 4 (CH4), while remaining fully embedded in the centralized HQ Legal Department.
