Legal Counsel (Digital Freight Forwarding) — Berlin, Germany
About the Opportunity
Forto — the AI-powered logistics company reinventing digital supply chains — is looking for a Legal Counsel to be the primary legal architect ensuring its digital freight forwarding operations remain robust, compliant, and risk-resilient. This isn't just a paperwork role: you'll be deeply embedded in the business, managing the friction points of international logistics — from chasing down outstanding debt to steering high-stakes litigation with external advisors.
The Role & Impact
You'll balance a "get it done" operational mindset with the strategic foresight needed to build scalable processes that protect Forto's bottom line without slowing down growth. This is a role where legal meets operations at the sharp end of global trade.
Key Responsibilities
- Operational Legal Support: Provide daily guidance on contracts, disputes, and commercial matters across freight forwarding operations
- Dispute & Litigation Management: Steer litigation and debt recovery with external advisors
- Risk & Compliance: Keep operations robust, compliant, and risk-resilient across jurisdictions
- Process Building: Build scalable legal processes that grow with the business
What You Bring
- Legal qualification with commercial or logistics experience
- Comfort with high-volume, operational legal work — not just advisory
- Strong negotiation and stakeholder-management skills
- A pragmatic, get-it-done mindset with strategic foresight
If you want to be the legal backbone of a company simplifying global trade, this is the role.
