Legal Counsel M&A

Join The Social Hub as Legal Counsel – M&A

Your mission, should you choose to accept it

This isn’t your typical legal counsel role. As Legal Counsel – M&A at The Social Hub, you’ll be right at the centre of our fast-paced, international expansion — from the earliest stages of scouting locations to closing complex cross-border deals.

You’ll work closely with our Investment, Development, Finance, and Executive teams to help us acquire buildings, land, and partnerships across Europe. Whether it’s an asset deal in Rome or a refinancing project in Vienna, you’ll be involved from start to finish. Beyond the deals themselves, you’ll help shape the way we do legal: improving our internal processes, managing corporate governance, and advising teams across TSH as we scale.

You’re not just here to review documents — you’re here to make deals happen, provide strategic input, and ensure we grow intelligently, compliantly, and sustainably. And because we’re not your average hospitality company, this won’t be your average legal team either.

In case you don’t know who we are

Known for being the rule breakers in hospitality, TSH is a fun, creative and inspiring environment where everyone can work, stay, learn and play and most importantly – be themselves. As an employer we look, act and think like a hotel, but instead we offer a lot more. Think student accommodation, long and short stay options, gyms, talks, events, rooftop bar and eat & drink escapes as well as community and coworking spaces. Located in The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, and the UK, with several new openings on the way, this hybrid hospitality concept may take root in the heart of Europe, but our plans are set for going global.

What you’ll do

• Supporting the Investment team from the very first stages of potential deals (NDAs, LOIs, etc.)
• Leading on transactions (asset deals, share deals, turn-key acquisitions) — working with internal stakeholders and external parties like shareholders and financiers
• Setting up joint ventures or other strategic partnerships to bring our projects to life
• Supporting the banking team with refinancing processes (due diligence, data rooms, Q&A, corporate docs)
• Managing internal corporate governance and corporate housekeeping
• Improving internal processes, creating templates, and helping implement new tools to scale smarter
• Coordinating and managing international external counsel when needed
• Being a great teammate who contributes to the atmosphere, and helps make the Legal team even stronger
• Reporting directly to the General Counsel
