Job description

We’re looking for a Senior Legal Consultant – Corporate and Fundraising to support our team in the UAE.

We’ve recently expanded to Dubai, building on the success of our 20+ strong London team and establishing fantastic client relationships and partnerships across the GCC.

Now, we’re looking for an entrepreneurial Senior Legal Consultant to join our new team in the UAE, supporting our corporate and fundraising clients across the UAE and beyond.

The role

We’re looking for a qualified corporate lawyer from a common law jurisdiction with:

• 8+ years PQE with significant experience advising on buy-side and sell-side corporate transactions
• Has been based in the United Arab Emirates for at least +5 years (Can be based in Dubai or Abu Dhabi)
• Expertise in drafting, reviewing, and advising on corporate agreements, governance, M&A, and reorganisations

Who we are

We offer commercial-first legal advice to startups and scaleups from idea to exit, delivered by entrepreneurial lawyers who get it. We work with over 500 clients across more than 30 countries, from early-stage founders launching their MVP to unicorns seeking world domination.

From fintech to fashion, AI to aerospace, gaming to crypto, we’re legal partners to the companies shaping the future.

You’ll fit right in if you:

• Are entrepreneurial to your core and love championing your clients
• Are tech-savvy and comfortable with legal tech solutions
• Have exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills
• Can manage multiple projects and deadlines like a pro
• Thrive in a collaborative, supportive environment (and have a good sense of humour!)
• Want to be part of building something special as we scale globally

What makes us different?

We’re not your traditional law firm. Think the best of private practice and in-house legal blended with the energy of a start-up. Most of our team trained at a big law firm and worked in-house for a fast-scaling tech company.

Our lawyers embed directly with their clients as trusted advisors, gaining exposure across industries and global markets (UK, Europe, US, Middle East).

We offer the variety and fast pace of private practice with the deep client relationships of an in-house role.

If you’re ready to help build the future of legal services with us, apply now. We’d love to chat.
