This role is perfect for someone eager to take on broad, hands‑on work across multi‑jurisdictional and strategic initiatives. You’ll partner closely with stakeholders at every level, delivering high‑quality legal support in a fast‑moving, innovative environment.
The role will involve:
* Drafting and negotiating complex legal documentation across the full transaction lifecycle, from early structuring through to completion.

* Supporting project management and governance processes, helping track progress and escalating issues when needed.

The successful candidate will have at least 2 years’ PQE as a transactional lawyer and be qualified in England & Wales (or Commonwealth equivalent).
