Key Responsibilities

• Lead the drafting, review, and negotiation of key transaction documents such as SPAs, APAs, disclosure schedules, warranties and indemnities, and ancillary agreements.

• 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.

• 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.
