Our client would like to employ a corporate legal counsel on a 6-12 month FTC basis. This is an urgent requirement which will need the ability to start immediately.

The Role

More details will be given on the client upon application.

This role will include supporting due diligence activities and working with a magic circle law firm and the General Counsel in a professional, discrete and pro-activie manner to ensure the project keeps to tight timelines. The key duties of the role will include supporting the General Counsel with Vendor Legal Due Diligence and a potential group restructuring of certain businesses. This will include:

• working through the Information Request List
• sourcing the applicable information from approved contacts within the Group
• populating the Virtual Data Room with sourced information
• ensuring materials are complete and indexed correctly in the VDR
• managing the follow-up Q&A inquiry process on the Legal Due Diligence, tracking the responses, liaising with external counsel and updating the Q&A register

• generally supporting deal execution as and where needed
• There may also be room and capacity for you to support the wider business and stakeholders with general commercial legal matters.

This may be an administrative-heavy role but a crucial one for the business and it does require a corporate solicitor with 2-5 years PQE (UK or other Jurisdiction) to confidently manage and support the General Counsel with these activities.

If you are a corporate solicitor who is great with managing project work to tight deadlines from start to finish and has a pro-activie and inquisitive nature, this could be an ideal role for you!
