US Qualified Consultant Lawyer - NDA specialist (Remote)

Avantia is the legal and compliance partner to many of the world’s leading asset managers and private equity firms. We combine specialist sector expertise with AI‑powered workflows to help clients move faster, manage risk, and scale globally. From London to New York, we’re building a new model for legal and compliance delivery—blending the precision of expert lawyers with the efficiency and insight of technology.

Our proprietary AI platform, Ava, underpins every service we deliver and streamlines manual processes, surfaces institutional knowledge, and empowers our attorneys to negotiate from a position of strength, respond faster, and deliver consistently better outcomes. But technology alone is not what sets us apart—how we use it defines us. Avantia is built for people who see change as an opportunity. We’re a team of lawyers, technologists, and specialists who want to shape the future of our industry, not just adapt to it. We value clarity over caution, innovation over inertia, and collaboration over hierarchy.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Lawyer to join Avantia on a consultancy basis to spearhead the negotiation of investment‑related NDAs, joinder agreements, engagement letters and non‑reliance letters. You will manage every phase of the contract process—from initial review and negotiation, guided by client playbooks, all the way through to document execution. Working closely with fellow Avantia lawyers and paralegals, you will dive into fast‑paced, high‑volume negotiations on pre‑M&A contracts (mainly investment‑related NDAs and ELs), collaborating directly with counterparties while ensuring rapid turnaround times. This role is fully remote and allows you to practice law flexibly. Due to turnaround times agreed with our clients, we ask for a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week, spread across Monday to Friday.

Competencies

• Comfortable with a fast‑paced, changing and dynamic environment with the ability to work effectively independently and as part of a team
• Efficient: we expect staff to move quickly on matters while at work and prioritize multiple tasks and competing demands and deadlines, while respecting work‑life balance
• Committed to delivering a quality service to our clients with a strong work ethic
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; our clients value crisp, concise and straightforward advice
• Strong grasp of relevant legal concepts combined with a commercial and pragmatic outlook

Equal Opportunities

At Avantia, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, and we firmly believe in equal opportunities for all. We value and celebrate the unique perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences that each individual brings to our team. We embrace diversity in all its forms. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels respected, valued and empowered to contribute their best work. Our hiring process is merit‑based, and we welcome applications from all qualified individuals. We encourage you to communicate any reasonable accommodations you may need during the recruitment process. Please let your Talent team know ahead of any interview; we will be happy to suggest or discuss reasonable adjustments confidentially.

Requirements

• Licensed to practice Law in the USA or Canada
• 2+ years’ corporate/transactional law experience, either in‑house or private practice
• Experience negotiating investment‑related NDAs independently
• Familiarity with asset managers, investment banks or other financial services firms is preferable but not essential
• Consultants must be based in North America due to time‑zone and turnaround time considerations
