• A team that invests in your development and supports learning through experience

About The Job

This is a role for someone who wants to take ownership, influence outcomes, and contribute throughout the full deal lifecycle.

Included in your mission is to

• Take part in leading the legal workstream throughout M&A projects, including acquisitions, carve-outs, and partnership/JV arrangements
• Support legal activities through post-closing integration
• Advise on deal structure, risk mitigation, and negotiation strategy
• Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders and ensure key workstreams stay on track

Your profile

We are looking for someone who combines strong legal expertise with commercial understanding and a genuine interest in driving business outcomes.

We welcome candidates from both in-house and private practice backgrounds who can demonstrate strong transaction capability and the right mindset.

You recognize yourself in most of the following:

• Experience participating directly in negotiations and transaction execution
• Ability to balance legal risk with commercial priorities and deal value
• Motivation to build a long-term career within a business environment
• Confidence navigating ambiguity and unfamiliar challenges
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage several workstreams simultaneously
