About The Role
An exciting and unique opportunity has arisen for a Corporate Lawyer to join our Corporate Team. The position is based in our BRICS team, who support Businesses with Risk, Investigation, Compliance and Secretarial matters. You will work alongside our transactional and specialist Partners across the firm, and the rest of the BRICS team. This is a varied and fast-paced transactional role which is central to the corporate team. We are renowned for our attention to detail, accuracy and investigatory skills, often working on high value transactions to tight deadlines.
What we do
* Transactional work – as part of our due diligence reporting function, we add value by understanding the risks in the context of the transaction and ensuring that our advice is commercial and tailored to our client. We are corporate lawyers, so we understand what can be negotiated and different appetites for risk. It is more than “just DD” - we draft warranties and indemnities, mark-up disclosure letters, manage the W&I policy and draft ancillary documents relating to issues the team has identified. We are the face of DD on client calls and manage a high volume of transactions.
* Company secretarial and corporate governance – we prepare articles of association, shareholders agreements, governance policies and risks registers. We also provide training for directors.
* PSL support to the corporate department – we manage and maintain the corporate precedent bank and knowledge centre and answer technical company law questions from across the firm.
* Compliance and Regulatory – we conduct reviews of the regulatory landscape of target companies and undertake audits of company records and compliance checks.
* NSIA Applications – we produce and review applications for buyers and sellers.
* Project Management – we are a busy team with plans for further expansion of work streams. We ensure projects are delivered on time by working closely with the wider teams. We also manage data rooms for the corporate department.
* Client Journey – we follow-up on recommendations and implement post-completion checks for clients.
Due to the nature of the role and the need to work closely with other team members, this is a predominately office based position.
