providing transactional support on corporate projects, including managing electronic data rooms/sites, uploading and ordering documentation, and liaising with third parties

• reviewing and reporting on contracts and other documentation as part of a corporate due diligence exercise, and redacting documents in line with client instructions

• attending disclosure meetings and preparing first draft disclosure letters

• preparing for completion, including finalising documents for execution and assisting with completion meetings

• all elements of post completion work, including drafting ancillary documents such as stock transfer forms, board minutes and rolling out pro forma documents, and producing bibles

Who We're Looking For:

• experience of working as a Paralegal ideally in the Corporate and Commercial specialism

• a high level of attention to detail

• effective personal, organisational and time management skills, and the ability to juggle multiple demands

• strong written and verbal communication skills, demonstrating an ability to communicate with colleagues at all levels
