Counsel for Beckman Coulter will join an inclusive and service-oriented team of attorneys and legal professionals and will report to the Assistant General Counsel, Transactions. This is a broad, often complex and interesting practice with significant opportunities for personal and professional growth.

This role will work directly with executives and associates at all levels of the business, participating in leadership meetings and supporting multiple functions, including Business Units (product development, product management and clinical affairs) and Operations (supply chain, manufacturing, real estate and others).

This position is part of the Legal function and will be on-site either in Chaska, Minnesota or Miami, Florida.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

• Serve as the legal department's primary contact for the Counsel's clients, managing a full calendar of diverse meetings and requests
• Provide practical, solution-oriented approaches to a broad range of legal issues and risks, and then structure, write and negotiate agreements addressing those issues and risks
• Partner with specialist attorneys and other professionals on IP, regulatory and compliance matters
• Supervise legal professionals and other associates on standard agreements, such as NDAs and MTAs
• Using Danaher Business System (DBS) concepts, work with legal department colleagues to identify, design and implement continuous process improvement initiatives, such as initiatives to improve the department's client service levels or streamline the department's template agreements.

The essential requirements of the job include:

• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school and 3 or more years of experience in a law firm transactional practice, including experience with complex agreements, such as open innovation, license, product development and collaboration agreements with companies and academic institutions.
• Active bar membership in good standing in at least one US jurisdiction
• Up to 25% travel to HQ in Brea, CA and other (domestic and/or international) company sites when possible in the future

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:

• Expertise in the Diagnostic / IVD industry
• Understanding of IP law and healthcare regulation preferred but not required. Focus regulatory areas include fraud and abuse (e.g., anti-kickback), FDA for medical devices, data use and privacy (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR) and anti-corruption (e.g., FCPA).

We offer comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance and 401(k) to eligible employees.
