Are you a sharp legal mind eager to take the next step in your career? Have you gained solid foundational experience at a law firm and are now ready to transition into an in-house role where your legal expertise will have a direct impact on a high-growth company?
At InTouch, we’re growing rapidly—whilst Belgium remains our commercial stronghold, we’re also expanding across neighbouring markets like the Netherlands, France, and Italy. And with the US on our radar, we’re gearing up for an exciting international expansion.

You'll work closely with leadership and external law firms, ensuring our legal operations keep pace with our ambitions.
If you're looking for a fast-moving, high-impact role where you can apply your legal expertise strategically, help support international expansion, and grow alongside an innovative SaaS B2G company, this is the challenge for you.
