    Description

    JOB DESCRIPTION
    You're an original. So are we.

    We're a company of people who like to forge our own path. We invented the blue jean in 1873, and we reinvented khaki pants in 1986. We pioneered labor and environmental guidelines in manufacturing. And we work to build sustainability into everything we do. Our brands stand for freedom and self-expression around the world.

    Where we lead, others follow.

    For more than 160 years, we've used the strength of our brands to lead with our values and make an outsized impact on the world.

    We employ more than 15,000 people globally to support our great brands:
    Levi's, Dockers, Denizen, Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. and Beyond Yoga.

    The Legal Counsel, Commercial will assume dual responsibility for commercial contracting and commercial litigation matters.

    As an integral member of the commercial contracting team for Levi Strauss Americas, your role will negotiate a variety of domestic and international commercial agreements, including technology, marketing, software licenses, master services, and recruiting contracts.

In between drafting contracts and navigating litigation, you will find moments of fun and camaraderie.

    You'll be part of a team that values collaboration and new ideas, where every day brings new opportunities to grow.
