THE TEAM

Launched in 2010, our well-established, high-performing, and busy Transaction Services Team (TST) helps Addleshaw Goddard deliver a world-class service to its clients. We were the first team of its kind in the UK and continue to innovate by delivering work efficiently, saving clients time and money.

Supported by technology, we play a key role in enabling Addleshaw Goddard to respond to demand for innovative and value-driven services.

In addition to a competitive salary and flexible benefits, you'll have opportunities to support major UK businesses and potentially undertake internal and client secondments. Our career development framework and training programs are designed to support your growth, including regular career conversations, legal qualification sponsorship, and technical development programs.

• Drafting legal documents and standard forms
• Supporting clients on-site
