Job summary

Qualifications

• 5+ years working as a corporate attorney or GC at a major law firm, investment bank, or corporation.

• Develop legal scenarios involving tools such as Westlaw, Lexis, virtual data rooms, contract lifecycle management platforms, and document automation systems used on major transactions.
• Apply corporate law methodologies to the jurisdictional tracks and produce reference memoranda, transaction documents, and client/regulatory-facing narratives.
