Key Responsibilities

• Lead the drafting, review, and negotiation of key transaction documents such as SPAs, APAs, disclosure schedules, warranties and indemnities, and ancillary agreements.
• Manage legal due diligence processes, coordinate specialist workstreams (*, tax, employment, IP, regulatory), and oversee the transaction timeline through signing and closing.
• Provide advice on deal structuring, earn-outs, deferred consideration, Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance, closing mechanics, and post-closing matters.
• Commit to meeting established Service Level Agreements (SLAs), such as a 24-hour turnaround, when accepting work with such requirements.

• A minimum of 5 years of experience practicing M&A or corporate law, gained in either private practice or an in-house legal department.

• Maintenance of professional indemnity insurance or willingness to obtain it in line with local requirements.

Essential Skills and Attributes

• End-to-end deal experience: Proven capability to lead transactions from the term sheet stage through to closing, rather than solely supporting specific workstreams.

• Due diligence command: Ability to scope, execute, and synthesize a diligence exercise into actionable findings for a buyer.
• Cross-border fluency: Comfort and experience coordinating with counsel in other jurisdictions on multi-country deals.
