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.
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‑active manner to ensure the project keeps to tight timelines.
The key duties of the role 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
- Supporting the business mapping work and pre‑sale re‑organisation
- Generally supporting deal execution as and where needed
There may also be room and capacity 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‑active and inquisitive nature, this could be an ideal role for you!
