About the Role & Team
Based in our London office in Hammersmith, the EMEA Disney+ Legal team collaborates with Disney Legal offices across EMEA, working seamlessly to provide regional legal guidance. The EMEA Disney+ Legal team leads on product matters, regulatory and consumer law, and broadcasting compliance. It also provides UK-specific advice, which informs our broader regional strategy and supports our US-based teams.
As Disney+ grows in both scale and complexity we need additional support within our EMEA Disney+ Legal team.
